    Xbox needs to delete the entire Ad row. It will instantly create a vastly more enjoyable Home screen and starup experience with literally no other changes needed.

    Finally. I’m glad. I’m tired of having my background be completely covered up. It needed a refresh, I can’t wait to get it!

    I play my Series X all of the time and I think I’m very much in the minority when I say this couldn’t matter less to me.

      Until you have to navigate it. I’m dreading it RN. Hopefully it’s better than it currently looks.

    Another swing and a miss. When was the last time Microsoft changed something for the better? Windows 7, maybe? Its been a while.

      This is the most unforgivable change for me. I basically don’t even use the dashboard any more because I never know where the things I care about will be. I’ve switched almost entirely to the “X jewel” menu instead.

    Just booted up my Xbox and saw the update was already installed. I had to go back into the Games/Apps menu to add my groups back to the home screen.

    Terrible. We use ours firstly for entertainment apps, so having a row for ‘most popular games’ before the group with the apps is rubbish. I honestly don’t care what others play. Wish we could customise it. I can see us shelving the whole console and using a Roku for watching instead, because it’s that bad. I’m dreading having to explain to the fam how to use it, again.

    As for the games we do play, it’s now so much harder to get to them. Fail on that front too. It’s literally a giant ad now, getting rapidly worse as we scroll down.

    I hate how much ads are there, more so for the stupid game pass. I’m already a subscriber too, I don’t need the constant spam damn!
