Prism adds AVX/AVX2 support alongside Epic Anti‑Cheat to enable local play for most Game Pass titles on ARM.

Overview

  • Microsoft ended Insider testing and made the Xbox PC app publicly available across all ARM‑based Windows 11 PCs.
  • More than 85% of the Xbox Game Pass catalog now runs locally on ARM devices, according to the company.
  • Prism translates x86 and x64 code on ARM and now includes AVX/AVX2 plus Epic Games’ Anti‑Cheat support, enabling titles like Fortnite.
