Meanwhile, in the realm of handheld gaming, Microsoft's 'Full screen experience' mode for handheld gaming PCs is causing a stir. This feature, available through a Preview version of Windows and a third-party tool called ViVeTool, is intended to provide an immersive gaming experience on devices like the Lenovo Legion Go S. However, users have been experiencing issues with the mode on the Lenovo Legion Go S, and are planning to spend their evenings troubleshooting these problems.
One user suspects that firmware updates may be needed for the Lenovo Legion Go S to work well with the 'Full screen experience' mode. Indeed, firmware updates have been mentioned as a potential solution for some users. The instructions for setting up the 'Full screen experience' mode on Windows handhelds can be found on Reddit, courtesy of user Gogsi123, who shared a detailed guide for enabling the mode.
The handheld gaming market is seeing competition from Microsoft's Xbox 'Full screen experience' mode. Alongside the Lenovo Legion Go S, other handheld gaming PCs like the Steam Deck, MSI Claw 8 AI, Lenovo Legion Go, and Ayaneo Flip DS are also vying for attention. Each of these devices offers unique advantages, with the Lenovo Legion Go S SteamOS ed. considered the best overall handheld gaming PC, the Steam Deck the best budget option, the MSI Claw 8 AI the best for Windows, the Lenovo Legion Go the best for big screen, and the Ayaneo Flip DS the best for compact design.
Interestingly, the handheld gaming mode was not expected to be available until the ROG Xbox Ally's launch on October 16. The ROG Xbox Ally, a handheld gaming PC by Asus, is expected to have Microsoft's Xbox 'Full screen experience' as one of its selling points. Some users may need to go to great lengths to access the 'Full screen experience' option, such as downloading a Windows 11 25H2 iso, booting it via USB onto their handheld, and reinstalling Windows.
However, it remains unclear if the Xbox 'Full screen experience' mode will improve performance and efficiency compared to Linux-based operating systems like SteamOS and Bazzite. As the gaming community eagerly awaits more information, Jacob Fox's expertise in hardware is sure to provide valuable insights and updates.
