New Xbox user interface, home screen coming in 2023

An updated interface will be available for the Xbox Series X as well as S, along with a completely redesigned homescreen. Ivy Krislov is the senior product manager and lead designer for Xbox Experiences. She announced this in a blog post on Xbox Wire.

“Starting this week, a random subset of Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring will see some layout, design, and ease of access changes as we experiment with different approaches,” Krislove wrote. “In addition, we are also exploring options for new game channels and collections when you scroll down that include content that’s curated for you based on things like the games you’ve played or how to make the most out of your Game Pass subscription.”

Some of the key updates in this preview test include a new “Jump back in” row that will allow players quick access to their most recently played games and apps, curated categories and recommendations for suggested games, and new dedicated tile designs for key systems apps like Settings, Store, and Search.

In 2023, the Xbox Home Screen and User Interface Update will be available.
