Xbox Support

WinUI 3 has been launched for quite some time; when will it support the Xbox platform? Will it still support the Xbox platform?

I have the same question; There isn't a good app framework for Xbox'es and Microsoft wants you to shell a lot of money into real XDKs for development with Win32, and not whatever UWP is, defeating the whole porpose of dev mode.

I would not wait for it, first of all the XBox team advises against anything WinRT, as it was replaced by the Game Development Kit,

For developers building Xbox One games, Win32 + GDK is a direct replacement for the WinRT-based Exclusive Resource Application (ERA) app model using the XDK, introduced on Xbox One; Xbox 360 developers similarly migrated to ERA in 2013.

As for apps on XBox, I don't expect that will be a thing in whatever becomes the next XBox
