Starting today, and rolling out to all Series S|X and One consoles over the next few weeks, there’s a whole new look coming to Xbox Home screens.
After a 9-month stretch of tweaking and tuning with input from members of the Xbox Insider programme, the new Xbox Home “Experience” will be gracing gamers screens and monitors soon.
