Microsoft just announced their new UI language "Fluent Design" coming to the next major W10 update called "Fall Creators Update" and during the presentation we saw a bit of the new Xbox interface:

+ Updated Windows Store:

Looks okay. I have to see it in action. Can't wait for e3!

 

[JlNX]

It looks so gorgeous, the lighting makes me think that the UI will make use of HDR.
EDIT: for anyone wondering what the new MS design language is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcBGj4R7Fo0

 

[mcrommert]

This is only a mockup..don't look at this as an announced design...just the principles they are showing (we all got burned in the longhorn days)

 

[JaseC]

I hope the WinStore redesign isn't just a new coat of paint and Microsoft has finally put some effort into improving its foundation so issues downloading/updating games are no longer a common occurrence.

 

[BleedOrange]

Was about to post this as well. These are most definitely renderings/mockups, but hell if they dont look a gazillion times better than the current Xbox One Dashboard/UI.

I always hated the flat black background of Metro/MDL 2.0.

This looks sooooooooooo much better.

 

[Majine]

What a coincidence, I was just looking at my watch and thinking to myself "Man, it's been 20 minutes since the last Xbox dashboard redesign, what's going on!?".

Thank god.

(Looks nice).

 

[Gamezone]

Won't the Scorpio be using the same UI as the current XBO?

 

[MCD]

more icons is always welcome.

text only can get old fast.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Console's going to be white, isn't it?

 

[Zeta Oni]

Oh that's nice, I'm digging the motion of tiles on the white translucent background.

 

[TheKastorian]

I wonder if this is actually going to be their "next-gen" system but just won't admit it.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

If it's smooth it will be like butter on Scorpio.

 

[GinoFelino]

If Microsoft restricts a newer, not-shit game UI to Scorpio, I will kick every single one of them up the arse

They are upgrading every Xbox One with a new Dashboard, if there is a new one.

Nice gif, I'm adding it to the OP.

It's a new design language for across all MS devices so I would assume it's coming to xbox one.

 

[vivekTO]

The way they have reserved 4 Gb of ram for Os only , i think we will get something close to this, cause these motion tiles will be heavy.

 

[leeh]

Looks nice, but make it actually fluid like those mock ups please.

 

[JaggedSac]

This might make it to Scorpio as well:

It confirms what Jez have said back in February: http://www.windowscentral.com/project-scorpio-motion-design-language

 

[LukasTaves]

Yes

 

[Newlove]

Looks smooth, I like the colour.

Spoiler

pause the game first damn it!

 

[Stumpokapow]

Looks like Metro's flatness with Spotify+Apple Music inspired heavyweight fonts and frosted glass layering.

I've had heavy dynamic window transparency on my Mac since... 2002. On modern macOS you can be playing videos behind heavily blurred and transparent windows and it'll play fine even on machines with *only* 4GB of RAM. It really doesn't seem like this should be crazy impossible to make seamless and non-stuttering UIs on consoles in The Year of Our Lord 2017 without massive performance issues, especially since you're dedicating resources solely to the OS.

 

[VincentMatts]

That doesnt mean xbox one s will get the fancy animations like in the gif.

 

[Complicated]

It looks functionally identical to the current UI which has been great.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

I like it, would love to see the final design...OS can certainly us more animations and fluid motions.

In the 4gb reserve 3gb is disk io cache if im not mistaken.

 

[LukasTaves]

But it is, the designer that make it seemed like it was scorpio only said it's coming to xbone as well.

 

[LukasTaves]

Itunes on win store

Edit wrong thread Xd

 

[LordBaztion]

holy crap itunes is coming to windows store. Probably to X1 too.

 

[JaggedSac]

lol, thought so

i dont know what you just said

 

[shaowebb]

Nothing could EVER be as bad as the Xbox one ui. Anything they do from there is an improvement.

I hate using my XB1 every second I'm not in the actual game

 

[Jonneh3003]

Very cool!

 

[Theorry]

Am i back in 2013?

 

[JlNX]

i dont know what you just said

The lead designer for the new xbox os had on his job description had implied that it was scorpio only, it was later clarfified that it would also be coming to xbox one. But it did mention that he would be making use of scorpios extra power for the os.

 

[VincentMatts]

Am i back in 2013?

Im telling you, its exactly like it was with vista. No matter how much they improved it, people keep shitting on it year after year because of their first impression. it sucked in 2013 and therefore will always suck.

ah ok

idk why the dashboard is fine now.

 

[Lazaro]

Look at profile pic.

Looks like it's using the New Xbox avatars:

like these ones:

No the RAM disk comes into play with existing XB1 titles. Where there is 8GB available for games but old / current games only use 5GB. So they decided to make good use of it.

 

[BleedOrange]

Seconded. The new dashboard revamp was an improvement but only a minor one. It's fundamentally flawed in a way I cant quite put my finger on. Hopefully the revamp to include Fluent Design Language will be better.

 

[dh4niel]

If it's real, it already looks too cluttered. You only really need the essential options in-game the rest is unnecessary.

I mean i am not talking just about the transparent tiles , its like how the snap feature have somewhat of lag in earlier Builds, So having that much of fluid motion in Ui usually requires a little bit more resource. that is the point I was making, they have now enough resource to make this happen without any hitching.

 

[JJH]

MS still slaying on the UI. Can't wait for Scorpio.

 

[BBQMan]

looks like the Xbox Windows App. With Tiles.

Well, hopefully not too much like those ones.

 

[Vexed]

I've never really understood the UI complaints associated with XB1, especially given the competition.
