Microsoft, in collaboration with Qualcomm, announced significant enhancements for PC gaming on Windows on Arm devices. The update includes a new Snapdragon Control Panel for game-specific settings, expanded anti-cheat support, and AVX2 emulation to improve compatibility with a wider range of games. This initiative aims to level up the gaming experience on Snapdragon-powered Windows laptops. In a related development, Microsoft is expanding its Xbox Full Screen Experience to all Windows PCs, which was previously exclusive to handheld gaming devices. This feature provides a console-like user interface for navigating game libraries with a controller on laptops and desktops. The rollout is currently available to Windows Insiders and signifies Microsoft's strategy to unify the gaming experience across all Windows devices. These updates are part of Microsoft's broader push to strengthen its position in the PC gaming market. By improving the gaming capabilities of Windows on Arm and creating a more cohesive user experience with the Xbox interface, Microsoft is working to attract both developers and a wider audience of gamers to its platform. There has been no significant market reaction to these announcements so far.
