Microsoft is walking back changes to the latest Xbox Home page refresh following comments and criticism from early testers. In a blog post, Microsoft said it has heard the feedback that the top of the newly designed Home screen “did not leave enough space” for players to see their backgrounds. Not only this, but Microsoft said fans let the company know the refresh made the Home page look and feel “crowded.”
To address this, Microsoft said it is working on changes to “balance the experience, accessibility, function, and the needs” of players.
Microsoft rolled out the new Xbox Home screen at the end of 2022 for people in the Xbox Insiders testing program. Those people will now have their system reverted from the “experiment” version to the standard one.
