A Playnite theme called XFSE‑Compact, created by mufflerexoz, replicates the Xbox Series X|S interface on Windows. The theme imports console‑style artwork, game descriptions, playtime stats, and launch shortcuts into Playnite, a third‑party game launcher that consolidates Xbox, Steam, Epic, GOG, and emulators. Users can download Playnite from its official site and install the theme via the XFSE‑Compact GitHub repository. The result offers handheld owners a more authentic Xbox experience, matching the look and feel of their console.
