Summary
Video game console developer Microsoft is to allow users of its Xbox to pin apps and games directly to the home screen.
The ability to do so is being rolled out to Xbox Insiders this week, alongside options to hide system apps and games, determine how many are shown, as well as the size of the tiled UI.
Users will be able to pin up to three recently played games or apps to the home screen, which “will stay near the front of the list as you launch other things”, according to Eden Marie, principal software engineering lead for Xbox experiences.
The changes are a response to user feedback, she said.
Microsoft launched a major overhaul of the Xbox Home UI in 2022, making more room for background images, quicker access to games and the store, and settings.
