Microsoft Xbox Home UI: Microsoft starts rolling out new Xbox Home UI: Here’s what has changed – Times of India

“This update is designed from player feedback and makes it easier to discover new games, rediscover games you already love, connect with communities, and create a more personalised experience,” the company said.

Xbox’s new Home UI was criticised for being too “crowded”.
How to try the new Home UI
Microsoft is currently rolling the new Home experience out to a subset of all Xbox consoles. This means that some gamers will need to wait a few weeks to get the updated Home UI.
“Over the last 8 months since initial release, we’ve implemented changes to meet those requests and have a new Home that feels fresh, puts the focus on your games and apps, and creates space for beautiful backgrounds,” Xbox said.

Xbox Home UI: What’s new

Microsoft said that the redesign adds a quick access menu that will now make it easier for gamers to navigate to the games Library, the Microsoft Store, Xbox Game Pass, Search and Settings at the top of the Home screen.
The layout has been simplified to create more space for the personalised background. The games that were recently played as well as other content and apps are now placed at the bottom of the screen.

The new Home UI gets an option to change the background to match the game gamers are highlighting in the recently played list. The game discovery has also been improved as Microsoft is lists of games curated and personalised for the user.
Gamers can now customise their experience by pinning their favourite games, curated groups, and system groups like Quick Resume to Home.
There is also an updated Friends & Community Updates row and the new Home will now show gamers what media apps and content are available via a Watch & Listen spotlight and list of entertainment apps.
