Redesigned home and guide, btw

Edit: Anyone else get a message from Xbox last week saying that you were put into the Insiders program for your participation in the beta program?

RoKKeR · Jan 23, 2017

Digging the subtle tweaks to the dash and quick menu.

Preview "window" for active content is gone it looks like.

Tall Paul · Jan 23, 2017

Some awesome touches on the homescrren, nice work, looking forward to trying it out hopefully in early wave.

Compsiox · Jan 23, 2017

Oh wow clubs are finally coming.

a Master Ninja · Jan 23, 2017

Can't wait for the single-tap guide.

Blam · Jan 23, 2017

Oh this looks fucking dope.

¡HarlequinPanic! · Jan 23, 2017

That co-pilot feature sounds great for disabled gamers. Really great to see a feature like that being implemented system-wide.

FUNKNOWN iXi · Jan 23, 2017

But how do I access my gamessss.. Xbox UI is trash; it's worse than sliced bread.

malfcn · Jan 23, 2017

Hope I have it tonight. I could resurrect the community thread with this design.

You click on a tile that says Games and Apps.

Nephtes · Jan 23, 2017

Dammit, I need this now...
I don't want to wait.

How do I upgrade from the Preview Program to Xbox Insider?
😦

Double-tap to guide has got to go!

BigEmil · Jan 23, 2017

So same as Quick Menu, is changing the grey colour possible yet?

"Blu-ray player bitstream passthrough beta: The Blu-ray disc player on Xbox One now supports a beta of bitstream passthrough, which allows your receiver to decode audio natively. All bitstream formats are supported, including newer ones like Dolby Atmos."

This is all I care about. Release asap.

I guess my "worse than sliced bread" comment wasn't sarcastic enough lol

I always have a chuckle when people say the Xbox UI is impossible to navigate.

bidguy · Jan 23, 2017

new home looking good

Fuchsdh · Jan 23, 2017

It'd prefer pins to be above recent, or shrink down the recents so pins are easier to access, but it's still an improvement.

Go, Xbox Insiders, fix the bugs before I get my hands on it!

Also like the fact that they centered the guide so it's less scrolling up or down no matter what menu you're trying to get to.

Noobcraft · Jan 23, 2017

Copilot sounds awesome for playing games with my 3 year old.

Take for instance our new Copilot feature which allows two controllers to act as if they were one. This will help make Xbox One more inviting to new gamers needing assistance, more fun by adding cooperative controls for any game and easier for players who need unique configurations to play whether that is with hands apart, hand and chin, hand and foot, etc..

As testing it, as im in preview, it does work. DTS:X with Jason Bourne sounded fantastic!

to note on the future updated for the system level: I can't wait to hear what games in the future support dolby atmos as im ready to hear the gooodness all over my room.

I'm curious about this. Ever since the last OS update, bluray audio is always out of sync and I had to stop using it. Hopefully this fixes that.

Also, now that the big box for your current game is gone from the home screen, what happens to people who still use hdmi in for the TV (are there any?) I always thought it was neat how the TV show or game would just appear smaller in the box, still running.

Trup1aya · Jan 23, 2017

Looks great! Definately some long overdue improvements.

I hope it's as fast as they make it appear.

I love the way the home screen looks and how is centered around the your current activity. I wonder how it looks when watching tv.

JlNX · Jan 23, 2017

I'm glad to hear that they will be doing multiple performance updates.

My biggest concern is how tv and games will work if I can't have the news snapped playing while I play I'm gonna be pissed as I have the USB tuner specifically for this reason.

Zedox · Jan 23, 2017

Well...that's a lot. Still can't wait for Beam stuff. I'll be home soon to see if I get the update.

BananasWithGuns · Jan 23, 2017

No more double tap? Could it possibly be true?

01DragonFly · Jan 23, 2017

nice got a message this friday saying that I was selected for the new updates .

Theorry · Jan 23, 2017

Achievement tracking looks cool.

muzzymate · Jan 23, 2017

I'm a fan of the new guide button menu. Seeing it in action in the podcast really convinced me. Really curious to see how well that will work with their Media Remote (and re-programing my family on how to use the Xbox)

The initial home screen, looks really odd to me without the shrunken down version of the game. The home screen look really busy to me. Audio bit streaming is incredibly welcome! Hoping that goes system-wide eventually.

But my favorite feature, that I'll probably never use but will mean the world to some people out there is Copilot. That sounds great for people who need assistive technology products.33

Not a fan of the overlay. I've always been a proponent of the snap feature, but that seems to be on the way out. At least the overlay can be moved around.

Zedox · Jan 23, 2017

I'm interested in knowing if they will change how the guide looks/works for Windows 10 PCs. I'm hoping for some consistency.

Kastrioti · Jan 23, 2017

I did not click the links in OP but is this going to be available for everyone?

No only insiders.

For everyone in the Spring (Most likely April)

Jumeira · Jan 23, 2017

Oh man, the new guide is glorious! Pins in guide!

Izuna · Jan 23, 2017

Damnit, I'm part of it but I'm away from home for a week ;(

I think "Ship to Select Xbox Insiders Today" means no.

Yeah, I figured I meant will this be available for most anytime soon?

Unreal Champ · Jan 23, 2017

And yet, I still can't stream music from my PC for my background music. A simple little stuff like that they can't implement.

Blam · Jan 23, 2017

Fucking finally.

Bgamer90 · Jan 23, 2017

Very huge update. A lot of great sounding features and changes. Looks like they did a really good job.

Pretty sure you can so that from the Media app.

Been doing it for months now.

It's not impossible, but it definitely can be confusing if you don't use it on a daily basis.
I actually keep forgetting about the "my games and apps" button because it's placed in the ad block and right next to the other text box displaying information I'm never going to care about. It's one of the most important UI elements placed in a spot reserved for stuff I'd rather not have on the dashboard at all.

WTF background music is in? Do they mean Groove music or music off hardrive/iPod?

New achievement overlay is slick.

EmiPrime · Jan 23, 2017

Really nice update, hope it doesn't take too long to get to non-insiders.
