Microsoft has provided a look at its newest Xbox dashboard, which will presumably debut with the Series X console later this year. There’s nothing particularly groundbreaking here (games, apps, and other options are broken down in a tried-but-true tile layout), but it does look clean and tidy. The design will also remain consistent across multiple devices.
“The new Xbox look and feel is designed to be faster to use, more approachable and visually appealing,” wrote Microsoft. “This holiday it will be shared across all Xbox mobile apps, Xbox Game Pass on PC, and of course Xbox One and Xbox Series X consoles. Text is more readable, elements on screen are easier to understand at a glance, and accomplishing your tasks is faster than ever.”
But that’s not all. The new dashboard also sounds much faster. “The Home screen will load more than 50 percent faster when you boot your Xbox, and is almost 30 percent faster to load when you’re returning from a game,” the company added. “Furthermore, these improvements use 40 percent less memory than what was previously required.”
