Microsoft explains how Xbox Ally runs a lightweight bloat-free Windows 11 by Sayan Sen Microsoft today announced new AMD Ryzen-powered Xbox Ally gaming handhelds. There is a duo of these new devices, and they run Windows 11. The version of Windows 11 (Home) running on these new handhelds is specially optimized, says Microsoft. Jason Beaumont, the Vice President of experiences at Xbox, said that the new Xbox Ally consoles are essentially running an optimized and bloat-free Windows 11. He said: "We were able to take people who have been working on the Xbox OS for 20 years or more and have them work directly on the Windows codebase and start reimagining what that operating system looks like for this form factor. When the player boots into the full-screen experience, there is a whole bunch of Windows stuff that doesn’t get loaded. We’re not loading the desktop wallpaper, the taskbar, or a bunch of processes that are really designed around productivity scenarios for Windows." Roanne Sones, corporate vice president of gaming Devices and ecosystem at Xbox added: "We’ve reduced many notifications and pop-ups, and we will continue to listen to feedback from players to make continued improvements." Brianna Potvin, principal software engineering lead at Xbox, further added some details about memory optimizations: "This isn’t surface-level changes, we’ve made significant improvements. Some of our early testing with the components we’ve turned off in Windows, we get about 2GB of memory going back to the games while running in the full-screen experience. If you’re booting your device into the full-screen experience and you’re putting it down and it’s going to sleep, it draws one-third of the idle power draw than if it was booting the same device into the [Windows] desktop experience."

Yeah, I can think of very few venders who implemented it. Still, kind of a shame to remove the feature, even if no one was using it. -

At Fate's End announced by Spiritfarer studio, an action game about fighting family by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Thunder Lotus Games appeared at the Xbox Games Showcase today with a surprise game announcement. That may be a familiar name for indie game enjoyers, as it's the studio behind titles like Jotun, Sundered, Spiritfarer, and most recently, 33 Immortals. Now, the company is developing another narrative-focused action game titled At Fate’s End, but with a twist. The debut trailer is above. The title focuses on Shan, a divine-sword-wielding princess that has to confront her estranged siblings in "intense, emotionally charged duels." It's not all about sword fighting, as the studio says that the grand battles against family members will be won through dialogue, psychological insight, and hard-won knowledge of shared history. “With At Fate’s End, we’re taking everything we learned from Spiritfarer — that rich emotional core, that interplay of mechanics and narrative — and pushing it into thrilling new territory,” said Nicolas Guérin, Creative Director at Thunder Lotus. “This is a more intense, more action-driven game, but no less intimate. It’s about how families break apart — and how they might come back together.” Here are the key features listed by the developer: Dual Combat System: Master a blend of fast-paced and tactical swordfighting and clever, choice-driven dialogue battles. Narrative Skill Tree: Grow your abilities through your familial connections and learn to weaponize your knowledge. Emotional Encounters: Every duel is a pivotal emotional climax, shaping both the story and your relationships. Multiple Endings: Your choices forge your family’s future — or doom it. Stunning World to Explore: Discover a fantastical realm, beautifully crafted with Thunder Lotus’ signature art style. At Fate's End is coming out sometime in 2026 for PC (Steam, Microsoft Store, and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will also be a day-one Xbox Game Pass release.
