Microsoft has begun testing a compact Game Bar mode

Microsoft has begun testing a new version of its Game Bar. Like the Xbox app on Windows PCs, Game Bar will get its own compact mode, which The Verge reports is intended for smaller screens, Windows handhelds, and PC gaming with a joystick.

As Oliver Xu, senior product manager for Xbox Experiences, explains, “With Compact mode enabled, access to widgets and navigation is simplified, making it easy to find the content and options you need.” When using the joystick, you can quickly switch between widgets using the left and right bumpers (LB/RB).

The main widget in the compact version of the Game Bar allows you to view recently launched or current games, as well as complete them. You can also quickly access Widget Settings and the Widget Store when you need to add new features to Game Bar.

To take part in the test, you need to sign up for Xbox Insiders, download the Xbox Insider Hub app on your Xbox or Windows device, and then turn on the new mode in Settings. The Xbox Insider program also allows you to provide feedback on the latest Xbox system updates, features, and games in development for both Xbox and Windows consoles.
