Activating DEVELOPER MODE on Xbox Series X!

Ever wondered how your favourite game developers actually test out their games? Have a look!

This is a tour of developer mode - a secret bootable partition only accessible to users with a developer license. The partition is a cloned, fresh version of the Xbox OS (Windows 10 core/frameworks) that can be used to sideload apps and games in development. You can even use multiple sandboxes on the same Xbox!

SUPER MINI LITTLE TUTORIAL/GUIDE:

If you’re trying to do this yourself, you must be registered as a developer. From there, download the “Dev Mode Activation” app on your Xbox and activate it with your online portal. From there, dev activation will say you need an update, however, your Xbox will not update - THIS IS NORMAL! Don’t panic. Now you will be able to go to Console info in settings and press this combination on your controller: LB, RB, LT, RT. Developer settings will then appear. Go there and activate developer mode from there. Happy developing guys! :)

If this is all "data data cache cache" to you (Hi Ewan!), then not much of this will make sense at all. However, I hope you still enjoy taking a look at the secret hidden side of the Xbox!

[Handsome_Black]

Dude I could NOT FIND developer mode until your pinned comment! Thank you sir!

[tee.enderxity]

can xbox series x use keyboard and mouse? (just curious

[esprithk]

I have a XSX. I just press all 4 buttons together at once "LB+RB+LT+LR" to open Developer options on Console Info page. By the way, beware that when you exist Developer mode, please ensure that you untick "delete side loaded games and apps" every time !! or it will delete all your UWP installation upon exist.

How do you emulate old games on the series S?

[primal_elmo]

I've seen warnings about dev mode being able to render your xbox completely useless, how does it do that?

[esprithk]

ModernVintageGamer already posts video that user can install emulators in developer mode.

[thRonin]

Hello. Can you install Windows games and applications in dev mode?

[sonic-th]

I dont have the option "Developer Settings". Ive registered my series x with the dev home app earlier, but the app says I have to update my console.

[Artzei]

It certainly would be nice, if Sony could also offer something like this with PS5 someday. Not everyone could afford to purchase those actual PS5 dev units.

[pogijuice]

I love to play and mess with this, but it looks complicated and I'm not a nerd techie.

[steelymaverick]

this is all i get when i put in remote access url. (and yes i did pay for the license and activate the console)
Uninitialized Credentials have not been set up. Enter a username and password in the Windows Device Portal settings on the device.

[elTitoMalo]

How can I create folders? I need to create one to make Retroarch work.

[RenatoGuitar]

When I try to activate, My console returns the message
"Almost There
You're almost ready for development, but first we need to update your xbox. After the update, come back to this app and you'll be able to switch to developer mode." ..


What does this mean? I'm really Stuck!

[Alex]

If i do it on 1 console, will it affect the other console i play on

[invisible]

I keep having problems it says something went wrong, I tried fixing it multiple times, and nothing works

[andacyalcin]

So I have a problem accessing to Microsoft Store. I can open the app but the thing is it won't load the content...

[Homelander]

Can i use DEV Partition as main partition? Like, for installing normal games, play online and everything you normally do in Retail. Also, if i play Retroarch, does my friends see that i'm online playing Retroarch?

[mohamedalmasri]

Can I activate dynamic background if I enter dev mode on xbox one 😅

[TheRealTDog]

I downloaded the dev activation mode app and went to the url to put the code. There’s no option for me to put the code anywhere. What do I do?
