Update your Home


Improving the Home Experience has been truly a Team Xbox effort —from engineers to designers to researchers and many more. Our first step was to invest in infrastructure so that we could test different pages with different contents for various situations and users. Then we evaluated different aspects of the design, including how people interacted with it, whether they were able to perform the desired action, and their overall satisfaction. We started rolling out the version to Xbox Insiders once we were ready.

When we first showed Xbox Insiders what we were working on we heard your feedback clearly – you wanted more room to show off custom backgrounds or game art, quicker navigation options, and more personalization. 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 Home UI: How to Try it Out


We’re currently rolling the new Home experience out to a subset of all Xbox consoles. It means some Xbox customers will have to wait several weeks for the new Home experience. Rest assured over the next few weeks, it’s coming to a console near you! If you’re seeing the new Home on your console and you want to customize it to your liking, our guide has you covered.

We appreciate your comments and patience while we developed your Xbox Home. Looking forward to your feedback!
