Overview
- Select Xbox Insiders began testing the latest features in the staged rollout announced June 10, with Microsoft collecting feedback before a wider release.
- A mutual-friends indicator now appears on Xbox profiles when privacy settings allow, and non-friends can see how many mutual connections they share to help guide friend requests.
- My games & apps gains a poster-style artwork view, separate Home and library personalization sections, toggleable status icons and new navigation shortcuts for faster customization.
- Game Cards get an Add to wishlist button so players can save upcoming titles without opening the store, reducing friction in tracking games ahead of release.
- Consoles set to Sleep are being switched to the Shutdown (energy saving) option that Microsoft says cuts power draw by up to 20x while still allowing overnight updates, and users can change the setting or revert to Sleep at any time.
