Starting this week, users in the Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha rings will be able to preview a new version of their Home experience. This updated design incorporates the feedback we’ve heard from you along with all the learnings from our earlier experiments.

As we mentioned when we paused our experiments last month, we heard you tell us that the changes to the top of Home felt crowded and didn’t leave enough space for you to enjoy your background. So, we designed hundreds of options, then refined with prototypes and finally user-tested in our Research labs until we found one we hope you’ll love.

Starting today, a new Home experience is rolling out to all Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles. This update is designed from player feedback and makes it easier to discover new games, rediscover games you already love, connect with communities, and create a more personalized experience.

We’re excited to share more about the journey that led us here, and what you can expect with this new update.
