Xbox users that find the Xbox Home interface to be clunky and cluttered, fret not: the Xbox team is listening. A new Xbox Home UI has been released to a subset of Xbox Insiders. After testing, further changes and optimization, Xbox plans to release the new Xbox Home UI for all users in 2023.

Xbox recognizes that the Xbox homepage is a “a space that’s very personal”. As such, it has developed new ways to organize the Xbox Home UI, along with other adjustments.

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. 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.

Xbox Home UI Key Changes:

  • The new “Jump back in” row gives you quick access to your most recently played games and apps.
  • Easily access important system apps like Settings, Store, Search and My Games & Apps with their own dedicated tiles on Xbox Home.
  • Consistent design and visual identifiers with updated layouts to keep the experience familiar.
  • When you scroll down, you’ll see curated categories and recommendations tailored to your gaming preferences.

You can read more about the changes on the Xbox blog.
