March 10, 2025 - PC Gaming Preview - Xbox App [2503.1000.34.0] & Game Bar for Windows...

The Xbox Game Bar on my Windows 10 PC, as well as the Xbox app on my iPhone. Sorry for the confusion!

Hi,

You can change your online Status on PC via the Game Bar. Press and hold the Windows Key and
tap G on the keyboard.

Or with an Xbox controller attached to the PC, access the Game Bar by pressing the
Xbox button.

Depending on how the Game Bar is set up on the PC a number of Windows will be displayed. Showing as Online or Offline is available in the Xbox Social window. To configure the game bar to your liking, press the Overlay Menu, next
to the time. This will allow you to change what Windows of the Game Bar are displayed.

Hello,

Just to clarify you are talking about PC? If so are you on windows 10 or windows 11 and are you using the Xbox app or the Game Bar for parties?

Thanks,

Hi,

While it can be done via the companion app, the quickest way is via the Windows Game Bar via
Xbox Social. You can access the Game Bar in either of two ways:

With an Xbox controller attached to the PC, access the Game Bar by pressing the Xbox button.

Without a controller via the keyboard, you can access it by holding down the
Windows Key and pressing G on the keyboard.

Depending on how the Game Bar is set up on the PC a number of Windows will be displayed. Showing as Online or Offline is available in the
Xbox Social window. To configure the game bar to your liking, press the
Overlay Menu, next to the time. This will allow you to change what Windows of the Game Bar are displayed.
