The Xbox homeꦗ screen has had a bit of a change for preview users.

Yesterday on May 1, an update revealed several new features would be going live for Xbox Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead previewers. There are now three key changes to the Xbox home screen on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X/S for these prev♐iew users, based around feedback from all Xbox players.

Chiefly, there's now a new quick access menu at the top of the screen, providing access to your library, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft ꦬStore, Xbox Game Pas🦄s, search, and settings features. This should significantly speed up players navigating their way to any of the aforementioned features.

Secondly, there's an overhaul🧸 to individual tiles on the home screen. Some tiles have now been shrunk, while others h🅘ave been moved to the bottom of the main home screen, meaning it's now easier to get a clearer look at the background image of your Xbox dashboard.

Finally, there's some experimentation going on with one tileꦦ in particular. The bottom left corner tile on the main dashboard𝐆 has typically been deserved for the 'My games & apps' feature, but this will now periodically change to an app that needs your attention, or just a new feature.

This final feature is actually a work in progress from Xbox, and so you might see the tile change every now and then without justification. When an ite🅷m in the Microsoft Store on your wishlist goes on sale though, you'll see the Microsoft Store pop up in this tile with a notification.

Right now, ther♑e isn't a clear date for these new features making their way to a🎃ll Xbox Series X/S users at large.
