Demo 1: Building Xbox games with Power Apps – presenter steps through several apps and explains which Xbox sticks and buttons are used to navigate app. Follow along and start to build a game.

Games = manipulate a player inside a table. Games are tables with skins. Have a bug crawling around your screen in no time!
