The Xbox PC app is receiving a performance update, initially for Xbox Insiders. Microsoft states the updated app launches up to 60 percent faster. Internal testing indicates that Home, Store, and Game Pass pages load up to 50 percent faster, and windows within the app open up to 65 percent faster.
The update also includes changes to the app's navigation. The library now features updated filters and game organization. Search functionality has been unified to cover games, installed titles, people, and add-ons from a single interface. Friends and social features are now integrated into the main navigation.
The app's visual design has been refreshed, including redesigned game cards, a new Home page, and updated Settings. These changes aim to provide a cleaner look and a more streamlined user experience.
Separately, Microsoft announced that the refreshed Xbox web experience, previously previewed, will automatically roll out to more players. A similar redesign is also being implemented for Xbox cloud gaming applications on TVs and VR headsets.
