Windows Developer Blog : Our focus is clear: making Windows 11 the best place for game developers to create, experiment, ship and scale. Windows is an open, flexible platform that supports choice across engines, tools, hardware and distribution models. That commitment is rooted in close collaboration across our ecosystem, including partners like AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and Qualcomm, and strengthening our deep partnership with Xbox, driving innovation to shape the future of gaming with the development community.

This year at GDC, we’re introducing new Windows 11 platform updates and tools designed to deliver faster load times, smoother game play and a strong foundation for Windows ML-enhanced graphics.

Starting in April, Xbox mode will start rolling out to users in select markets on all Windows 11 PC form factors, including laptops, desktops and tablets, bringing the experience to a broader set of devices. Xbox mode makes it easier for players to jump into a streamlined, full‑screen, dedicated gaming experience whenever they want to lean back and play.
