No microslop did not listen or hear you. Anything from that slop shop is just more of the same buy buy buy shmarm that they have have infected the interwenz with since XP came out. The bawts listened/logged because that is what programs do.
Now update your system for the latest experience. Buy the next system NOW! then update it, because a business model that works until it fails as planned is a continuing revenue stream and that is what makes that boat float.

WAIT… THIS IS REAL? Elon Musk’s first crypto is actually called $SPAX30T??

Worth looking at SPAX30T alongside SOL and ETH honestly.

@shakiraosborne-f1z

When NVIDIA linked up with $SPAX30T, it wasn’t hype — it was about merging AI compute with decentralized systems. This isn’t chasing BTC or ETH, it’s a whole new lane.

I’ll stick to Big Picture Mode.
@sunsubjects
May 15, 2026 at 7:04 am
Thats awesome. Big picture mode has nothing to do with FSE. FSE impressively optimizes windows for gaming, big picture mode is a pretty looking full screen UI with a steam carousel.
@AviusUK
May 14, 2026 at 4:43 pm
While I don’t think this is bad, I personally won’t be using it. One of the main benefit of playing on the PC is that at anytime I can access anything. Alt tab and I can google something quick, I can reply to messages and alt tab back. Why would I give up that, especially when having 32gb ram anyway and benefits are minimal. I guess it’s useful if you’re playing with a controller maybe.

its great for kbm too but ofc if gaming isnt your main thing normal desktop will be better always

I just updated Windows and there is no Xbox mode and i don’t have any idea why. Things like this is the reason why PC is never going to be like a console. I hate PC gaming -_-
@CtrIAltGamer
May 14, 2026 at 7:24 pm
Is there a reason to run this rather than steam big picture mode? Any performance gains or what?
@voltayre4584
May 14, 2026 at 10:18 pm
That is something I’m still searching I don’t have the game mode available to me yet so I haven’t tested it. Doesn’t seem like many YouTubers are doing any for and after comparison.
@hdpapsey
May 15, 2026 at 7:14 am
If you watched the video you’ll hear him say “it reduces background tasks” and even free up memory
So your system performs better

@hdpapseyI did watch it but that still doesn’t answer my question but thanks.

You’re always in big picture mode it basically turn your pc to a Xbox interface and steam is a app on that Xbox
@thepiedish903

No one asked for this. I’ll buy an Xbox if I want the Xbox experience.

They really should just make a standalone XBOX OS. Remove all the bloat of win 11.

May 15, 2026 at 5:04 pm
Does the vivetool method just not have the option to boot the PC up in Xbox mode? I see others with different options that im not seeing, and I used vivetool for xbox mode
@ShiggyCompPt2
May 18, 2026 at 10:41 am
I’m pretty sure it’s only for handhelds as of now. It’s basically just steam big picture for now on desktops
@FK8Mugen84
May 18, 2026 at 11:03 am
@ShiggyCompPt2I’ve seen different options show up for other people who have Xbox mode on their PC. An option that mine won’t show. And there are people who have the option i see, but mine is grayed out. I can’t select it.
@ShiggyCompPt2
May 18, 2026 at 11:09 am
@FK8Mugen84maybe you have the Xbox app disabled on startup. Mine straight up doesn’t show up. I only see enable Xbox mode and view Xbox mode in task view or something like that.
@sametkucuk7305

sorry but its not work like most people want it to explorer still works in backround and most of nonsense apps still work in backround

Works well, they’ll improve it further. Can’t believe I basically have an “Xbox” now but whatever your PC happens to be… should be interesting with project helix

Hopefully YouTube music will have been incorporated so no alt tab and waiting for server to catch up

i have xbox mode enabled but game performances doesnt run that good i had to turn it off and turn back into window and i might stick with steam for now till they can improve it someday. too early to release and use it on any pc.
@swishpronoob
May 18, 2026 at 3:03 pm
Maybe it will get better with updates.
@LightSpiritHorizon
May 17, 2026 at 10:33 am
I love how it snaps through apps with Windows on keyboard. It makes my steamdeck installed Windows 11 a little slow with a game running. Likely the settings, but still. Only if you have the extra resources. Really cool though.
