Microsoft said the Xbox app is now available on all Arm-based Windows 11 devices, enabling players to now download and enjoy a wide range of titles from the Xbox PC app game catalog on Arm-based Windows 11 devices.
With this update, more than 85% of the Game Pass catalog is now compatible with these PCs, with support continuing to grow as platform capabilities expand. For titles not yet running natively, players can jump in via Xbox Cloud Gaming, while the Xbox team works with partners to broaden compatibility.
Since releasing the Xbox app to Windows and Xbox Insiders and listening to the gaming community,here are several platform updates that have been implemented to expand compatibility:
- Prism, the emulator that runs x86/x64 software on Arm, now supports AVX and AVX2, increasing compatibility for many modern games.
- Epic Anti-Cheat (EAC) support also enables fan-favorites for games on Arm-based Windows 11 PCs, including popular titles such as Gears of War: Reloaded, Fortnite, and more.
- Windows Performance Fit offers guidance on which titles should play well on a given device based on its hardware capabilities, so players can feel confident choosing what to download.
Windows and Xbox continue to collaborate across the gaming community, OEMS, silicon innovators, and game studios to expand catalog compatibility and deliver a consistently great Windows PC gaming experience – whether you’re on a powerful desktop, a purpose-built handheld, or an Arm-based Windows 11 laptop. The focus remains on improving compatibility, enhancing performance, and delivering experiences that make it easy to jump in and play.
