How to Get the Steam OS Experience on Windows 11 24H2/25H2 | Xbox Mode | OmniConsole
Missing the new Xbox Mode in Windows 11 version 24H2/25H2? Not only will I show you how to force-enable the hidden Full Screen Experience (FSE), but I’ll also show you how to hijack it so your PC boots straight into Steam Big Picture Mode!
Coming from a Steam Deck, I wanted that exact same seamless, controller-first "SteamOS" experience. While dedicated Linux builds are great, I specifically chose Windows 11 for this living room rig to ensure flawless HDMI 2.1 support giving me perfect 4K 120Hz, VRR, and ALLM straight to my Sony Bravia X90H.
Using a tool called OmniConsole, we get the absolute best of both worlds: native Windows hardware support combined with a legit, bypass-the-desktop Steam console UI.
