Microsoft has started rolling out an updated Xbox PC app to Xbox Insiders, saying it launches up to 60% faster and makes games easier to find [1][3]. The first session that can reflect the event is November 6, and this page will be updated after that day's close.
Xbox Insiders can try an updated Xbox PC app from the day of the announcement, which Microsoft says launches up to 60% faster and makes it easier to find games and connect with friends [1]. Microsoft also says it is bringing the refreshed Xbox web experience to more players and updating cloud gaming apps on supported TVs and VR headsets [1].
According to IGN, pages such as Home, Store and Game Pass load up to 50% faster, and in-app windows open up to 65% faster [3]. Jason Beaumont, VP, Xbox Experiences, described the changes in a blog post, and they are reaching Insiders before wider availability [3].
The source states that the performance results come from Microsoft's own testing and may vary by device, internet connection and other factors [1][3]. IGN adds that cloud games are gathered in one place, there is more room to browse on larger screens, and users can choose dark or light mode [3].
Windows Central also published a piece on the rollout, but only its headline is available, which says the new app is going live for Insiders [2].
