Xbox Series and Xbox One get a makeover
Microsoft has rolled out an update for the upcoming new Xbox Series and Xbox One interface. “We’re focused on making it faster and easier to get to the games you love and find your next favorite title” said Ivy Krislov, senior product manager at Xbox. Being in the private test phase, this dashboard will develop in the coming weeks thanks to user feedback. But here are the main changes.
This Xbox Series and Xbox One home menu will introduce a new “Jump back in” bar to return more quickly to the latest games and applications launched. The thumbnail of the most recently used game or application, on the far left, will also be the same size as the others. Currently, it is larger.
There will also be shortcuts for the Microsoft Store, a Search function and a “My games & apps” box. An option “Add to play later” is also provided with categories and recommendations that will be based on your preferences, or a section “Recently added to Xbox Game Pass”.
