Xbox needs to lose the ads on the home screen. Put them on a different tab, like a "Whats New" tab. Seeing ads first thingnyou see when you boot your console makes it feel like a cheap knockoff product, and it makes me feel like I dont own the console I paid for.
Still not a fan of having ad tiles on the home screen but I’m loving that you can see more of the background. I hate choosing a cool background image just to see 80% hidden behind clutter
I'm an insider so I'm already on this dashboard. It is nicer because you can see more of the background but the ads still need to go.
I am not really a fan of the new design. A little bit better than before, maybe? But it feels even more polluted with more small blocks. Also, hate the ads
I wish they’d stop messing about with the UI. Maybe take a page out of Sony’s book and get right first time and just release the odd small tweak.
The PS does have a great home screen. Top and bottom bar, boom done. I do wish Xbox would follow suit.
I think it’s about as bad as all their previous ones.
I like your take. Too small of a difference for me to really care
This is ugly. It's pretty much a Windows desktop, but with the taskbar at the top.
I like it but maybe the could have made a little more effort for the design and the aesthetic. At least we can see our backgrounds now!
And I really don't mind the ads, actually it allows me to see what is being released. As long as it remains games related I'm ok
I disliked the change initially, but only because I was used to the previous dashboard. After spending some time, I like that it's different - I have a Series X and I was disappointed when the dashboard was the same as the Xbox One. I think it looks fairly clean now, but maybe not as easy to see which app/game I'm selecting?
Looks like a half assed PlayStation cross media bar. It looks pretty terrible.
