“When we first showed Xbox Insiders what we were working on, we heard your feedback clearly – you wanted more room to show off custom backgrounds or game art, quicker navigation options, and more personalization,” Krislov noted.
The update is rolling out to a subset of Xbox consoles, with some customers waiting a few weeks before they see it.
