Microsoft Overhauls Xbox PC, Web, and Cloud Gaming Apps for Improved Performance
Microsoft has announced a significant redesign of its Xbox ecosystem, focusing on performance improvements and a more cohesive user experience across PC, web, and cloud platforms. The new Xbox PC app is engineered to launch up to 60% faster than previous versions, with specific sections like the Store and Game Pass loading significantly quicker. This update aims to bridge the gap between Windows gaming and the traditional console experience. The overhaul includes a simplified navigation system optimized for controller use, updated social features, and enhanced accessibility options such as high-contrast modes. While the PC app is currently available to Xbox Insiders for testing, the refreshed interface will roll out to Xbox Cloud Gaming on web browsers, smart TVs, and VR headsets over the coming weeks.
