Microsoft has rolled out a preview of the Xbox Full Screen Experience (FSE) for the MSI Claw, expanding its console-style interface to more handheld gaming PCs. The feature, part of the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build, transforms how players navigate games on Windows-based devices, creating a seamless, Xbox-inspired interface.
The FSE debuted on the ASUS ROG Ally earlier this month, but the MSI Claw now joins the lineup — signaling Microsoft’s growing push to unify PC and Xbox gaming. Early users can access the feature through Windows Insider builds, though Microsoft notes that additional optimizations are still underway.
How to Enable the Xbox Full Screen Experience on MSI Claw
To activate the Xbox Full Screen Experience on your MSI Claw, navigate to Settings > Gaming > Full screen experience, then select Xbox as your home app. Once enabled, players can access it via the Task View, Game Bar, or even set the handheld to launch in full screen automatically during startup.
This streamlined interface mimics the Xbox dashboard, offering quicker access to your game library, Game Pass, and system settings — perfect for handheld gaming sessions without keyboard or mouse interruptions.
Why Microsoft’s Xbox FSE Matters for MSI Claw Users
The release marks a major step in Microsoft’s effort to unify gaming experiences across Xbox and Windows devices. With the FSE, MSI Claw owners can enjoy a more intuitive and controller-friendly layout, similar to that of an Xbox console.
While the preview version may have a few bugs — as seen in its early rollout for the ROG Ally — Microsoft plans to polish performance and expand support to other OEMs like Lenovo’s Legion Go 2 in 2026.
What’s Next for Xbox Full Screen Experience on Handhelds?
Microsoft confirmed that “additional OEMs” will adopt the Xbox Full Screen Experience in the coming months. This broader rollout aims to standardize the user interface across all Windows gaming handhelds, bridging the gap between console and PC gaming.
For now, MSI Claw users in the Windows Insider program can explore the preview, test new features, and share feedback that will help refine the experience before its full public release.
