Lenovo makes it easier to test the Xbox Full Screen Experience on your Legion Go handheld — here's how to sign up and try the FSE interface before a wider rollout

Only a few months ago, Lenovo's Legion Go handheld gaming PC lineup received an update that improved support for the Xbox Full Screen Experience (FSE), introducing optimizations to help the handheld run the efficiency-centric gaming interface even more smoothly when manually enabled.

Now, it looks like Lenovo is taking another step towards broader implementations. Lenovo's community manager shared on X that users can now register for early access to Xbox FSE on the Legion Go (via VideoCardz).

Xbox Full Screen Experience is essentially an answer to what Valve offers in SteamOS, giving Windows handhelds a more console-like experience by booting directly into the Xbox app (in full screen, naturally) and reducing background Windows tasks while gaming.

Lenovo's Legion Go handheld lives on despite recent reports suggesting the device would no longer receive future Z1 Extreme graphics driver updates. That confusion began with AMD ending its plans to provide Z1E graphics updates, but soon after, Lenovo clarified that it would still support the Legion Go (via Reddit).

And now, it's receiving another update so Legion Go users can sign up to test the Xbox Full Screen Experience in a more official capacity, with slightly fewer manual tweaks!

🗨️ Do you already use Xbox FSE?

Xbox Full Screen Experience has already been available on devices like the Xbox Ally, as well as some MSI handhelds, for a while now. Support continues to expand as more devices begin testing the interface.

With that in mind, I would love to know if you actually like the experience, or if you have even used it yet.
