Microsoft isn't slowing down and is once again tackling substantial changes in the Xbox system. Following the recent overhaul of the main menu, the company plans a even greater redesign of the interface, this time moving towards the unification of the entire ecosystem – from consoles to PCs and the cloud.
New system, one environment
Reports indicate that the new interface will be common across all Xbox devices – including the mobile app, PC, and Game Pass in the cloud. Internal testing at Microsoft has already begun, and the goal is to create a modular and dynamic system that will be easier to update and scale regardless of the platform.
Sounds familiar? Yes – it strongly resembles the approach taken by Google and Apple, which have been unifying ecosystems for years. For gamers, this could mean smoother transitions between devices, more integrated features, and fewer barriers between what you have on your console and what you run in your browser.
Xbox with new personalisation options – more order, less chaos
Microsoft has announced three new features that aim to give gamers greater control over the appearance and functioning of the home screen. This is a nod to those who value minimalism, convenience and quick access to what really matters.

By the way – if you're waiting for a more powerful Xbox or a new system, then this is a sign that it's worth refreshing your gear. However, if you don't want to spend a fortune, we recommend our ranking of the best budget televisions. Because changes in the system are one thing, but a good screen makes a difference.
New UX, new possibilities?
It's worth noting that Microsoft already has experience in large interface transformations – Xbox One went through several versions of the dashboard before achieving relative stability. However, we're now talking not just about cosmetics, but about a complete rewrite of the entire system, which could open the door to more flexible solutions, AI integration, and better responsiveness.
"We've heard from many of you that Home should resemble your space more. Whether it's displaying your favourite games, hiding what you don't use, or simply making Home feel less cluttered, this update is a direct response to that feedback" – added Eden Marie.
At the moment, there are no specific dates, but leaks suggest that we might see the first effects of the new system by the end of 2025, and the wide release may align with the launch of the new generation of consoles, which is being talked about more frequently in the context of 2026.
