Microsoft is not slowing down and is once again taking on a thorough overhaul of the Xbox system. Following a recent facelift of the main menu, the company has plans for an even greater redesign of the interface, this time moving towards the unification of the entire ecosystem – from consoles to PC and the cloud.
New system, one environment
Reports suggest that the new interface is to be common across all Xbox devices – including the mobile app, PC, and Game Pass in the cloud. Internal testing by Microsoft has already begun, with the goal of creating a modular and dynamic system that will be easier to update and scale regardless of the platform.
Sound familiar? Yes – it strongly resembles the approach of 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 launch in your browser.
Xbox with new personalisation options – more order, less chaos
Microsoft has announced three new features that will give players greater control over the appearance and functioning of the main screen. This is a nod to those who value minimalism, convenience, and quick access to what is truly important.

By the way – if you are waiting for a more powerful Xbox or a new system, it's a sign that it's worth refreshing your equipment.

New UX, new possibilities?
It is worth noting that Microsoft already has experience in major interface transformations – Xbox One went through several versions of the dashboard before achieving relative stability. However, we are now talking not just about cosmetic changes, but about completely rewriting the entire system, which could open the door to more flexible solutions, AI integration, and better responsiveness.
"We have heard from many of you that Home should resemble your space more. Whether it's about showcasing 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 this moment, there are no specific dates, but leaks suggest that we may see the first effects of the new system as early as the end of 2025, and the wide release may coincide with the launch of the new generation of consoles, which is being talked about more frequently in the context of 2026.
