Xbox will have a redesigned library view for games and apps

microsoft has announced a new update for your Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One consoles. This update focuses on making improvements to the library screens on consoles.

As part of the update, the Entire Library view on the My games & apps screen has been redesigned. The goals of the redesign are to make the games easier to install and play.

The library now displays all games the player may own, as well as games the player will have access to with their subscriptions, such as Xbox Game Pass, EA Access, and games claimed through Games with Gold.

Xbox gamers can now also change the default install locations for their games and apps. Games optimized for Xbox Series X/S may be installed in a different location than backward compatible games and apps. These last two also allow installation on external USB hard drives.

For those not interested in micromanaging their install locations, there’s also an option to “Let Xbox decide” where to install games and apps, which will always select the fastest drive available with enough space.

In addition to the revamped library screen, Xbox has also revealed details about smaller updates to other game options. The Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller can now be customized so that its Xbox button displays different colors. This offers full RGB customization.

Finally, Microsoft has updated the Xbox app on smartphones to allow gamers to create parties for multiplayer games from within the app itself. The Social tab in the app now has a new Parties option, where players can view their recent parties, or even create a new one.
