Custom colors have been added to the profile color option list allowing you to pick exactly the right shades to fit your style. Additionally, you can add your color of choice as an accent fade to the Guide by going to Settings > General > Personalization > Customize the guide.

The amount of groups you can pin to Home has been increased from two to ten. Additionally, you can add up to 10 individual games to Home to further customize your experience.

- User Selected Resolution and Network Quality Indicator
We’ve added User Selected Resolution (USR) and a Network Quality Indicator (NQI) to improve transparency and control around your streaming quality. Before you start streaming, you can now choose your preferred resolution in console Settings > Cloud gaming, giving you more control over how your games look and perform.
