Overview
- Starting February 18, the feature is available in preview to Xbox Insiders on Windows through the PC Gaming Preview.
- Postgame recaps surface highlights from a play session such as Game Bar captures, unlocked achievements, and relevant in‑game events.
- Recaps appear selectively, most often after a capture or achievement, with occasional first‑play check‑ins that can include game recommendations.
- To show a recap after you exit a game, the Xbox app may run in the system tray during play, with Microsoft claiming minimized performance impact and a full opt‑out that stops tray startup.
- Testing requires joining the Xbox Insider Program via the Xbox Insider Hub on the Microsoft Store, aligning with broader early‑2026 experiments like a revamped Xbox Cloud Gaming interface.
