Microsoft starts rolling out Xbox’s latest UX update

Microsoft is preparing for the launch of the Xbox Series X with an upgrade to the Xbox interface. The company is maintaining a unified user experience between Xbox One and the next-gen console, so the older system is getting many of the benefits of its navigational improvements. The UX update is rolling out to Xbox owners starting today.

The biggest interface improvements include a more streamlined Guide, a new notification inbox, and extra controls when you’re in a party. Microsoft is also adding elements like animated backgrounds and customizable profile themes.
