Last I checked, the Xbox has Microsoft Edge. But that was several years ago.

It works perfectly fine on my Xbox One X. And @technonux is correct, the Xbox One controller does just fine with the browser version and the console browser version.

Has anyone tested the MakeCode Arcade kiosk mode on XBox or other consoles?

That being said, we have been building a new experience that is easier to use for RPIs and other OSs that have a “kiosk mode” You can find it here: The idea is that you put the RPI in kiosk mode and have it load this webpage fullscreen.

Microsoft Edge on the Xbox One and the Xbox One X works just fine with MakeCode Arcade games, including kiosk mode.[1] Since you can connect a keyboard and a mouse to the Xbox One, you can use it to _create_ games, too!

[1] I own Xbox Ones, but the Xbox Series machines run (essentially) the same operating system. So, MakeCode Arcade should run within Microsoft Edge on those machines, too.

IKR!? I was pretty impressed and pleasantly surprised when I tried it myself.

So, it depends a little bit on what you’re trying to do. If you want to play your own games, and you’ve signed into MakeCode Arcade with either your Google Account or your Microsoft Account, then you can open Microsoft Edge on your Xbox, login to MakeCode Arcade with the same account, and have your cloud-saved games travel with you to your Xbox (or any other browser on any other computer, for that matter… It’s the beauty of cloud save!)

If you’re trying to play games from the MakeCode Arcade homepage, then just open Microsoft Edge, browse to MakeCode Arcade, and launch the game straight from the homepage.

Ditto that with games found here in the forum. Open Microsoft Edge, browse to the forum topic, and click on the link just like in any other browser.

Now … if you want to share your games _with others_ and have them play _on the Xbox_, then you’ll need a way to provide the share link with your Xbox friends. You could copy-and-paste the share link from MakeCode Arcade into an Xbox message. If you and your friends use Discord, then you can use that to share links.

Those are just some ideas off of the top of my head. If you have a particular scenario and you need more help, then just holler! And, as @MakeCode said, stay tuned … as there may be more specific support for consoles down the road. (No promises!)

Nice summary of your experience with this on the XBox, @AlexK, and a pleasant surprise how well it seems to work there!  
(Except perhaps for the usual quirks of navigating the browser on consoles if you do not have a keyboard connected?)

Must say I am very much intrigued here; Christmas Day\* does in fact happen several times a year in the world of @makecode!!!
