This is on the insider ring

Has controller navigation become good in the app with said insider update? That's a big thing holding it back imo.

jezcorden.com•5 days ago

its better, but windows itself is holding that back i think

lanceku.bsky.social•5 days ago

True. Maybe with Windows 12 or something Microsoft will let you navigate it with a controller. Funnily enough Windows 8.1 in tablet mode likely would've been serviceable.

Now they need to replicate that same performance on Xbox and we're gold.

ehh but this

weird. error reporting does need to be better.

ohwachacha.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yea and their "expert" told me to reinstall the OS, but keep files and apps untouched...

Not Insider Ring.

Not sure what’s changed but I don’t notice a big difference (granted - playing on an upper mid range pc). Maybe a little smoother scrolling? It still hitches a bit when loading new pages and takes a bit longer to load the page content than i’d like (Steam being the benchmark)

Im on the insider ring and updated prior to playing some doom today

Full convergence is coming together nicely.

xboxdude.bsky.social•5 days ago

If they work out the file system issues between this app and Windows, they are golden.

Clean look too

They need to make a gaming mode. The issue with having an app is the improper window focus sometimes. They need to make it function the way SteamOS does.

agree, will take years to get there tho

I’d like to be able to hide games from the library like we can on console. I have the delisted Forza Street and some mobile world of tanks game I’ve never played in my library.

yeah that's fucking annoying

Xbox should care more about Xbox consoles. Everything they do is for PC and PS5 players. Xbox console players got abandoned

danielsu39.bsky.social•5 days ago

Do you have any information on how they will approach the porting of a controller UI to Windows? Is it an app overlay or an update of the OS under the hood?

jezcorden.com•5 days ago

both rly
