Microsoft's new handheld gaming mode, exclusive to ROG Xbox Ally, has just leaked for every handheld running Windows 11 — all you need is the 25H2 update and a few registry tweaks

Microsoft's new handheld gaming mode, initially exclusive to the ROG Xbox Ally, has leaked and can now be installed on any handheld running Windows 11 with the 25H2 update and registry tweaks. The full-screen Xbox experience, set to debut on the ROG Xbox Ally next month, consolidates games from various stores into one place and improves performance by disabling unnecessary background processes. Users can still switch back to the regular desktop environment and are advised to use a mouse and keyboard for that purpose. The update is designed to be more handheld-friendly and efficient, offering better performance and battery life.
