Microsoft is starting to test a new compact version of its Game Bar with Xbox Insiders today. Similar to the Xbox app on Windows PCs, the Game Bar is getting its own compact mode that is designed for smaller screens, Windows-powered handhelds, and even for when you’re playing on a PC with a controller.
“With Compact Mode enabled, access to widgets and navigation is simplified to ensure you can get access to the content you want as easily as possible,” explains Oliver Xu, senior product manager for Xbox Experiences. “When using a controller, you can switch between widgets quickly with left and right bumpers (LB/RB).”
