Microsoft its New Xbox Experience in October with a redesign of the console menu, which includes new features such as custom themes for the profile.
Through Xbox Wire and Harrison Hoffman, Product Manager at Xbox, we learned that an update for Xbox One will be released this week that will completely renew and change the console’s interface. With it it is expected that from now on their menus look like those announced for Xbox Series X / S. To the obvious (albeit slight) aesthetic changes we must also add 15% more speed when exiting the games or moving between its options (a percentage that will increase —and even triple— with the new generation consoles).
The #Xbox October Update starts rolling out today, featuring lots of new goodness, including:
🎮 A fresh look and feel
🎮 Profile Themes
🎮 New sign-in experience
🎮 Language support for Czech, Greek, Hungarian, and Slovak
🎮 Performance improvements
🎮 … and more!– Harrison Hoffman (@harrisonhoffman) October 13, 2020
Custom themes for the profile
The interface also has a new screen to choose a user as soon as the console is turned on (unless we have activated the automatic login) and what is more important, it involves the premiere of the themes to customize our profile. Although the dynamic themes and for the main menu are reserved for the new generation, we can now edit and give the color and motifs that we want to our small user corner. With the October update the first three themes will be released, which are the following and, to continue feeding our hype and hunger for the next gen, they are based on Xbox Series X / S:
On the line of your new store
This new look is part of what Microsoft already announced and baptized in August as New Xbox Experience. The company wants to give a more uniform look to the Xbox ecosystem and seeks to approximate the sources and forms that it has across all its devices, including xCloud and mobile applications. The interface change is in line with the new console store, which was also recently updated, revamping the design and significantly improving loading times. The latest adjustments and updates are expected to arrive from November 10, with the launch of the new consoles.
