Back in May, Microsoft started testing the new Home experience for all Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles. After testing it with gamers over the past few months, Microsoft is now rolling out this new Home experience to all Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles. Over the coming weeks, all users will have this new experience. This new Home experience makes it easier to discover new games, rediscover games you already love, connect with communities, and create a more personalized experience.
The new Xbox Home experience offers the following:
