So, here we go—Xbox Insiders, you’re in for a bit of a shake-up on the Home screen. Yep, starting this week, there’s some fresh customization stuff rolling out. Makes it all feel a bit more like your own chaotic corner. Maybe it’s just me, but I kinda dig when tech listens to what we ramble about. Anyway—wait, where was I?
Ah right, new settings! The recently played games list is getting, like, a makeover. Or something close to it. Three whole new ways to mess around with what you see. Let’s dive in.
So first up, you can finally kick those system apps to the curb—if you’re into keeping things neat or whatever. It’s like cleaning your room and pretending you won’t just throw your clothes on the floor again. But it’s nice, you know?
Then there’s this pinning thing. Favorite game? Stick it right at the start. Up to three, they say. Personally, I’d probably keep losing count. But it’s for those moments when you dive back into a game like it’s an old book you misplaced—warm and a tad dusty.
Oh, and minimalists, shout out to you! Soon (whatever ‘soon’ means, hey, I’m not your calendar), you’ll be able to shrink those tiles. Fewer choices, fewer headaches. But for now, just chill as they polish this up.
It’s coming to the Alpha peeps first, so Xbox is practically begging for feedback. Which is cool, since feedback is basically community speak for “let me tell you my life story disguised as a bug report.”
But why bother, huh? Well, I guess it’s all about making Home feel like, you know, home. If hiding apps makes it feel less crowded and more like your lair, then why not?
Remember, those feedback channels are still there. Twitter, Reddit. Take your pick. It’s a world where your rant might just shape the next update. Weird, right? But, it’s kinda cool. You talk, they listen. Almost like a diary that answers back.
Not part of the Insider club yet? No biggie. You can jump in pretty easily. Then you get to poke and prod at new stuff before the mainstream folks do. Just download the Xbox Insider Hub and you’re good to go.
For more updates, it’s probably smart to keep an eye on the Xbox Insider Home. Or don’t. But you might miss out and, well, who wants to be out of the loop?
