Windows 11 Xbox Mode cuts memory use but performance unchanged
Windows 11\'s Xbox Mode, a gaming-focused interface under development by Microsoft, reduced memory use in a recent comparison test but did not show a clear improvement in game performance. Linus Tech Tips tested two PCs with identical specifications, comparing the standard Windows 11 desktop environment with Xbox Mode. Frame rates in titles including Forza Horizon 5, Cyberpunk 2077 and Doom: The Dark Ages were largely the same.
