Microsoft is introducing customizable features for the Xbox Home UI, allowing users to pin recent games or apps, hide unwanted system applications, and adjust tile sizes to create a personalized dashboard experience. These changes will be available for Xbox Insiders and aim to enhance user satisfaction. Principal software engineering lead Eden Marie highlighted that these updates are a direct response to user feedback about creating a Home that reflects individual preferences, making it less crowded and more functional for players.
You'll soon be able to pin up to three of your recently played games or apps to the homescreen. "These pins will stay near the front of the list as you launch other things, giving you quick access to your go-to titles," explains Eden Marie, principal software engineering lead for Xbox experiences.
If you don't want to see system apps listed on the homescreen you'll be able to disable these to focus solely on games and apps. If you really want to take customization a step further, you'll also soon be able to reduce the number of visible tiles in the recently played games and apps list.
Microsoft says it's "refining this setting" and it'll be available to Xbox Insiders soon. The changes to the Xbox Home interface are in direct response to user feedback, aiming to provide a more personalized experience.
"We've heard from many of you that Home should feel more like your space," says Marie. "Whether it's surfacing your favorite games, hiding what you don't use, or simply making Home feel less crowded, this update is a direct response to that feedback."
