Xbox app is now available on all Arm-based Windows 11 devices — Microsoft says ‘more than 85% of Game Pass catalog is compatible with these PCs’

Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus badges.

Microsoft just announced that you can now install the Xbox app on all Arm-based Windows 11 devices. The Windows Experience Blog said that more than 85% of the Game Pass catalog is compatible with Windows 11 devices that run on Arm-based processors, and that it’s continuing to expand compatibility with the remaining titles. This news comes as Nvidia is reportedly debuting Arm-based N1X gaming laptops this quarter, challenging the established x86 architecture that still dominates the gaming PC industry and offering an alternative to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X SoCs.

“Players can now download and enjoy a wide range of titles from the Xbox PC app game catalog on Arm-based Windows 11 PCs,” the company said in its blog post. “Today, more than 85% of the Game Pass catalog is compatible with these PCs, and we’re actively working with partners to expand support even further. For titles not yet supported running locally, Xbox Cloud Gaming remains an easy way to jump in while we work with partners to broaden compatibility.”
