Microsoft is not slowing down and is once again taking on major changes in the Xbox system. After the recent overhaul of the main menu, the company plans a even bigger redesign of the interface, this time moving towards unifying the entire ecosystem – from consoles to PC and the cloud.
New system, one environment
Reports indicate that the new interface is to be common for 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 of Google and Apple, which have been connecting 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 customization options – more organization, less chaos
Microsoft announced three new features that aim to give players greater control over the look and functionality of the home screen. This is a nod to those who value minimalism, convenience, and quick access to what is truly important.

New UX, new possibilities?
It's worth noting that Microsoft already has experience in large interface transformations – Xbox One went through several versions of its dashboard before achieving relative stability. However, now we are talking not just about cosmetics, but about a complete rewrite of the entire system, which could open doors 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 about displaying your favorite games, hiding what you don’t use, or simply making Home seem 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 by the end of 2025, and a wide premiere could coincide with the launch of the new generation of consoles, which is being talked about more frequently in the context of 2026.
