Microsoft has announced that its newest Xbox dashboard update will begin rolling out to users starting today, adding a ton of customization features for quickly accessing your favorite and most-used games and applications. The most attention-catching new feature, though, is a big emphasis on backgrounds, with more screen real estate devoted to the backgrounds and an option to have the background change to match the game you’re highlighting in your “recently played” list.
This update has been in alpha testing since May. The new UI moves your row of icons downward, making them smaller and adding more of them, to give more of the screen to backgrounds, and lets those backgrounds change based on what’s in your recently played list.
