Xbox Cloud Gaming is testing a new UI

It looks like Xbox is finally gearing up to make XCloud feel like a proper Xbox Platform. I’ve tried it myself and while it feels slow and clunky on my end, the general design is much better. I’d say it just needs a direct store icon/link at the top, for the library section to be just a little better done, and both this and the PC app desperately need customization options (like let me choose a background or basic theme or even startup animation). Overall though it’s much more like a platform experience as opposed to the streaming service Game Pass experience it felt like.

There’s also a Windows Central article, and it seems like it’s running faster for Jez.

It looks clean. I like it.

It seems like it will come to console also.

It does look solid. Not native, but solid. With the new UI and rumored ad plan, Xbox is definitely gearing up for people to fully access gaming through the cloud. Hopefully, Microsoft markers it well enough to non-gamers that it can actually catch up. If they’re successful Cloud Gaming could be a huge gateway into the Xbox ecosystem.
