Console experience.
Pure PC power.

Frame UI is a controller-first home screen for your Windows PC, designed specifically for use on a TV from the sofa. It brings games, media, photos, information and PC controls together in one interface.

No. Frame sits in front of Windows rather than replacing it. Your normal desktop, applications and files remain available whenever you need them.

Yes. Frame can launch automatically after you sign into Windows, taking you straight into the living-room interface. Automatic launch can be switched on or off in Frame settings if you prefer to open it manually.

Frame is designed to integrate with Xbox, Steam and Epic Games. It automatically searches for supported games installed on your PC and brings them into your Frame library, so you can browse and launch them from one place. Frame UI is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or otherwise associated with Microsoft Corporation, Valve Corporation or Epic Games, Inc. Xbox, Steam, Epic Games and related names and marks are the property of their respective owners.

Frame is designed around modern game controllers, including Xbox-style and PlayStation-style layouts. Additional hardware may be required for some wireless controller connections.

Not for normal Frame use. The core experience is designed to be controlled from the sofa — including navigating Frame, launching games, using supported streaming services and handling common sign-in or permission prompts with the controller and on-screen keyboard. A physical mouse and keyboard remain available whenever you need them.

No. Frame brings supported streaming services into your living-room experience, but access to those services is separate and some may require their own paid subscription.

Absolutely. Frame is designed to step aside when you need the full desktop, rather than locking you into a separate environment.

The upcoming beta will be free to join. The first 100 beta users will also receive the full release version of Frame UI free of charge when it launches. Final pricing for subsequent users has not yet been announced.

We're currently targeting 10 October 2026 for the first public beta. Join the waitlist to be among the first to get access.

We want Frame to grow with the people using it. Whether you've got a new feature idea, a suggestion for wider compatibility, or simply think something could work better, we want to hear it.

We're building a community of couch-controlled commandos, and your ideas can help shape where Frame goes next.
