The future of portable Windows gaming continues to strengthen with the integration of Xbox features. After confirming that the Asus ROG Ally and ROG Ally X will be the first to debut the Xbox Full-Screen Experience (FSE) on October 16, Lenovo has announced that its Legion Go Gen 2 will also receive this highly anticipated feature.

The FSE is a mode that allows the console to start directly in the Xbox app, without the need to load the entire Windows environment. This means that more system resources are dedicated to games, thus optimizing overall performance. Microsoft ensures that this mode will be key to getting the most out of the Ryzen processors that these machines integrate.

Lenovo will incorporate it in spring 2026

• The Legion Go Gen 2 will launch this October with a base price of $1,099, reaching up to $1,479 in its most complete model, with a more powerful processor, 32 GB of RAM, and 2 TB of storage. Among its features, it stands out for its 8.8-inch OLED screen at 144 Hz and detachable controllers, a format that makes it one of the most serious rivals of the ROG Ally.

Although it won’t have the Xbox mode at launch, Lenovo has confirmed that Xbox FSE will arrive in spring 2026 through an update. This way, players will be able to switch between traditional Windows mode and the full Xbox interface as needed.

Additionally, this novelty is complemented by the Handheld Compatibility Program, Microsoft’s new initiative that will certify games as Handheld Optimized or Mostly Compatible, similar to the Steam Deck verification system.

Everything points to the Xbox ecosystem continuing to grow in the portable territory, with more manufacturers joining this integration.
