Microsoft Unveils a New Look for Xbox Cloud Gaming Interface

Microsoft is preparing a significant overhaul of the Xbox Cloud Gaming interface, which is currently available in public preview for Xbox Insider program users. The redesigned interface boasts a nearly completely new look, complete with fresh animations. According to Microsoft’s official blog, “We are testing a redesigned web experience for Cloud Gaming that creates the foundation to accelerate our ability to create new experiences for players.”

The new interface brings the Xbox Cloud Gaming browser experience closer to that of the console, while introducing some notable changes to the design and animations. This preview is a first look at the new web interface in the browser, allowing users to test the design and updated product journey before wider distribution. The mention of creating a “foundation for new experiences” suggests that these new features may be reflected in other Xbox apps in the future, including consoles and the PC application.

The New Xbox Cloud Gaming Experience

The updated interface is a significant departure from its predecessor, with a focus on streamlining the user experience. As Microsoft notes, the changes could affect other Xbox interfaces in the future, including the console itself. While it is still early to determine the full extent of these changes, the new interface is certainly a step in the right direction.

Trying Out the New Interface

To experience the new visual features of Xbox Cloud Gaming, users can simply visit the Xbox website, sign in with their account, and enable the preview features option in the settings. After waiting up to 10 minutes for the “new experience” message to appear, users can follow the on-screen instructions to try out the new interface. If they prefer the old interface, they can always switch back.

As with any significant update, there may be some teething issues, but Microsoft’s commitment to continually improving the Xbox Cloud Gaming experience is clear. With this new interface, the company is laying the groundwork for future innovations and enhancements.
