On 2026-01-21, the Xbox App launched for Arm-based Windows 11 PCs, marking a significant expansion in gaming compatibility. This release allows users to access a wide range of titles from the Xbox PC app catalog.
Game Compatibility and Features
More than 85% of the Game Pass catalog is now compatible with Arm-based Windows 11 PCs. Microsoft is collaborating with partners to further expand this support. For games not yet supported locally, Xbox Cloud Gaming offers an alternative solution.
The introduction of Prism, an emulator that runs x86/x64 software on Arm, now adds support for AVX and AVX2, enhancing compatibility for modern games. Popular titles like Gears of War: Reloaded and Fortnite benefit from Epic Anti-Cheat (EAC) support on these devices.
Future Outlook and Development
Microsoft, in collaboration with Xbox and other partners, is committed to enhancing gaming experiences on Arm-based Windows 11 PCs. The focus remains on improving compatibility, increasing performance, and ensuring consistent user experiences across desktops, laptops, and handhelds.
The company expressed gratitude towards the gaming community and emphasized its dedication to delivering ongoing updates, features, and new games throughout the coming year.
