Windows 10 or Windows 11 users can download an updated preview version of the Xbox app. The app has a new navigation bar.
You must be part of the Xbox Preview Program to download the update. Version 2203.1000.21.0 changes the way you navigate through the Xbox app on Windows 10 or 11. From now on, you will find five options in the menu on the left.
The options give you access to Game Pass (the subscription that gives you access to over a hundred games), the personal library, cloud gaming, the community and the store.
New version Xbox app
When you open the app and scroll down a little bit, you will find an overview of the apps that are installed on the computer. In addition, there is again a button for Game Pass. It is not surprising that Microsoft generates a lot of attention for this.
With 25 million subscribers, it has become a major pillar of the company’s games business. When you press the button as a subscriber, you will see all the games you can play. Don’t have a subscription yet? Then you arrange that in the same place.
In addition, the search field has been given a permanent position. The field is at the top of the screen and is therefore no longer a small button. By the way, your profile picture has been moved from right to left. It is unknown when the update will be released for everyone.
