Okay, so here’s what’s up – Xbox Insiders are in for a treat this week. And no, I’m not talking about candy. I’m talking about the shiny new customization options hitting the recently played games and apps list on your Home screen. I mean, it’s about time, right? This is all part of making Home more “you,” whatever that means for each of us. Though, I gotta say, the customization game is stepping up.
So, what’s shaking? Well, the list of recently played games and apps is getting three snazzy new settings. These are like those times you get way too excited rearranging your living room at 3 AM. But on your Xbox. First, you’ve got the option to hide system apps. Like, finally. No more random clutter. You can focus on your games – or those streaming apps you swear you’ll use more often.
Then there’s this nifty feature – pinning your favorites right to Home. You can stick up to three games or apps there. Honestly, I usually have more than three favorites, but whatever, it keeps things simple. And the Reduce Tile Count option – coming soon they say – which sounds cool? Minimalist look, anyone? They’re still tinkering with it, so hang tight.
Only Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha folks get this stuff first, but they want your thoughts. Seriously, it’s like designing a room and needing second opinions, even though you’ll probably ignore them anyway.
Now, why does this matter? Truth be told, Home is supposed to be cozy, like your space. The whole idea is to make it less packed – like finding the sweet spot of minimalism without feeling all alone. You can give your two cents through Report a Problem. Xbox Insiders subreddit is buzzing with chatter if you fancy jumping into conversations.
Speaking of, shoutout to all the Xbox Insiders out there. Your feedback? Super important. If you’re looking for a support chat, head over to the Xbox Insider subreddit. Mods and other folks are there to give you a hand. Seriously, helps to jump into existing convos before starting new threads – keeps things tidy.
And if you’re not an Insider yet but have a curious streak (or FOMO), consider joining the Xbox Insider Program. You’ll get early dibs on new features. Pretty cool, huh?
