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.
