So, here’s the deal. Starting like, now-ish, Xbox Insiders are gonna notice some funky new twists on your Home screen. Instead of just droning on about updates, they’re tossing in some snazzy customization options for — wait for it — the recently played games and apps list. Yep, they’re listening to all our ramblings. Kinda wild, right?
What’s Shaking?
Alright, so you’ve got these three new fiddly bits to play around with:
-
Hide System Apps – Imagine clearing out all the clutter — like, poof! Honestly, system apps be gone! Get back to focusing on your games or whatever catches your fancy.
-
Pin Favorites to Home – Pin it, slap it right there! Boom — your top three games or apps, front and center. Perfect for those of us who like our faves just a button away. Who doesn’t?
- Reduce Tile Count (Coming Soon!) – Okay, so you like things minimal. This mystery setting lets you shrink the number of visible tiles, streamlining your screen to just what you need. They’re still tinkering with this one. So yeah, it’s more of a “soonish” thing.
These nuggets are dropping first for the Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha folks. And hey, they wanna hear from you, so shout out your thoughts!
Why It Counts
This is where it gets real. A lot of you have screamed into the void (and Xbox heard, surprisingly) that your Home should feel, well, like YOUR space. Whether it’s spotlighting fave games, ditching stuff you never touch, or just decluttering — this update nods straight at your feedback.
