Xbox has outlined a slate of platform updates aimed at making its ecosystem more consistent across devices. The Xbox PC app now supports Arm-based Windows 11 PCs, allowing local installs from the app’s catalog. A Game Save Sync Indicator is rolling out on PC and handhelds to show real-time cloud save status. Xbox also plans to bring its app with cloud gaming to select Hisense and V homeOS smart TVs in 2026. Alongside platform changes, Xbox highlighted additions across handheld compatibility, Xbox Play Anywhere, the “Stream your own game” library, and Retro Classics.

Xbox Pc App Lands on Arm-Based Windows 11

The Xbox PC app has expanded to Arm-based Windows 11 PCs. Players can download titles from the Xbox PC app catalog to play locally on Arm devices, including games available through an Xbox Game Pass subscription. The move targets parity across hardware so the app’s catalog is accessible on more Windows form factors.

At CES, Xbox and V (formerly VIDAA) announced that the Xbox app is planned for select Hisense and V homeOS smart TVs in 2026. On supported models, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to stream hundreds of games via Xbox Cloud Gaming directly through the TV app, no console required.
