Yeah, so, starting this week, if you’re part of the Xbox Insiders crew — which, let’s be real, sounds kinda exclusive, right? — you’re gonna see some brand-new tweaks rolling out. This is all about jazzing up that list of games and apps you’ve been on recently. I guess they’ve decided it needs some personal flavor or whatever. Seriously, it’s like they’re finally listening to folks who keep yelling into the void about making Home more “yours” (or maybe that’s just me).
What’s Cookin’, Good Lookin’?
So, in the land of recently played games and apps, they’re dropping three fresh settings. Imagine having more say over what pops up and how you get cozy with your games:
1. Bye-Bye System Apps – If you’re anything like me and hate extra clutter — like I can’t even with my kitchen — now you can hide those system apps. Just focus on the fun stuff, y’know?
2. Pin It Like Pinterest – Okay, okay, not really like Pinterest, but close. You get to pin up to three games or apps right there in your recently played list. It’s like telling your Xbox, “Hey, these are my VIPs.” They stay in the spotlight — or the top of the list — as you go about your gaming escapades. Handy, right?
3. Minimalist Vibes Coming Soon – For my fellow minimalists who think less is more. Soon you’ll be able to cut down the visible tiles. Just the real MVPs stay up there. They’re still tinkering with this one, but it’s happening. Slowly but surely.
These fresh bits roll out to the Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha folks first. Think of it as a sneak peek, but you gotta tell them what you think. Yep, your feedback matters, like FOR REAL.
Why Should You Care?
So, apparently, Xbox wants Home to be your space. Like, does it reflect your finest gaming moments? Or maybe it’s just about making it less of a mess. Whatever floats your boat. They’re actually responding to feedback this time. I heard that collective sigh of relief from across the globe — or was that just me again?
