New Compact mode in the Xbox for Windows app ‘improves the experience on handhelds’


What you need to know

  • Xbox, as part of their desire to support players where they want to play, has released a new compact mode for the Xbox app for handhelds.
  • The new compact mode doesn’t change very much but does make the app better on small screens. 
  • This could be a harbinger and show that Xbox is ready to support handhelds with a compact mode for Windows as well. 

On October 26th, Xbox released a new update for the PC Gaming Insiders preview program. There are several different changes to the Xbox app and a handful of bug fixes, but the biggest change, while not in scope but in intent, is the addition of a compact mode for the Xbox app for handheld and small screens. 

While reportedly the changes are small mostly focusing on reducing the size of the bar on the left-hand side of the app, giving players more real estate to manage their game library.
