I agree it feels out of place there, but I guess that may make sense when we get used to it.
The new gaming tab looks awesome at first sight. I’m playing Destiny at the moment and the tab has a little art on the bottom that makes it look really nice!
The gaming app looks more useful in general when compared to the old Achievements tab. It still shows the achievements of the game you’re currently playing on top, and even has some more sorting and filter options (although those options were already available on my last build).
A reminder that the new Store Experience is currently only available in the US and Canada. I had to switch my location to US to get it to work.
First impressions are great though. Super fast and slick, love the auto playing trailers when hovering over a game page (can turn this off too), better user review tabs and finally Xbox 360 game prices right there in the store.
One of the lucky few that got the new store update and I’m very impressed. I’m in love with the fluent design and the speed is super fast. The only negative I’ve found is that there isn’t any File size listed for each game.
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the dashboard with the same design.
What is everyone’s thoughts on the ‘Happening Now’ section of the friends list?
At first I wasn’t a fan, but I’ve actually grown to like it. I think it would be ideal if you could customise it to be for favourites only. But it is very nice to have the option to join a party or game directly from the guide without having to go into the profile (this should be a feature on the friends list!) but I also noticed a ‘Request to join’ option which seems new to let people know you’re interested in joining even if they aren’t joinable at that time.
Hey Xbox Insiders! We have a new Xbox One update preview coming to the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. It’s important we note that some updates made in these preview OS builds include background improvements that ensure a quality and stable build for Xbox One.
We continue to post these release notes, even when the noticeable changes to the UI are minimal, so you’re aware when updates are coming to your device. Details can be found below!
There’s a new way to browse Game Pass content and explore your existing library of games. From the Game Pass app, click on any title you don’t have installed. From there, you can easily view the game art, description, trailer, screenshots, bundle items, and more for that title. Additionally, there are links to common actions like “Go to Official Club,” “Add to Play Later,” “Share,” and “Add to Home.” This new “Flash Card” for your games is also available in My games & apps > Full library.
We’ve updated the Manage Game and App pages to more closely follow how the rest of My Games & Apps handles lists of items. You can now use multi-select in the Manage pages to install and uninstall the specific game content you want in one action.
Fixes Implemented
Thanks to the hard work of Xbox engineers, we are happy to announce the following fixes have been implemented for this build:

Guide
Fixed an issue where the Achievements tab would have overlapping elements displayed.
Users should correctly see their number of online friends displayed on the icon.
Home
Icons and names for most recently used items should display correctly on the dashboard.

Note: Users participating in Preview may see “odd” text across the console, for more information go here.
Known Issues
We understand some issues have been listed in previous Xbox Insider Release Notes. These items aren’t being ignored, but it will take Xbox engineers more time to find a solution.
We’re still tracking these known issues:
Audio
Users who have Dolby Atmos enabled and console display settings set to 120hz with 36 bits per pixel (12-bit) are experiencing loss of Dolby Atmos audio in some situations.
Workaround : Disable 120hz or set Video Fidelity to 30 bits per pixel (10-bit) or lower.
Some users have reported that Dolby Atmos for Headphones audio setting changes when the console is rebooted/updated.
Note: If you attempt to set the audio to Dolby Atmos for Headphones and see a message advising you to launch the Dolby Access App, please file feedback before launching the app.
Game DVR
Some users have reported that clips are being recorded without audio. We are aware and investigating.
Note: When reporting the issue, please be sure to include details about what resolution, length, and game you were trying to record.
Guide
Some users have reported that the audio mixer cannot be used to adjust chat/game audio levels.
My Games & Apps
Users have reported seeing black tiles instead of game artwork when browsing their collection.
Note: We are still investigating the issue, please report the issue again from the console if you have done so with a prior update and are still seeing this behavior.
Some titles in collection may appear with a “trial” tag incorrectly in collection.
New Store Experience
Some titles may display a “Not currently available” message on the product page and will be unavailable to purchase
Note: Users can use the Microsoft Store on the web or Windows to complete purchases for these items.
Users will not be able to use the “gifting” option for both Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles at this time.
Users will not be able to use the “Build a bundle” functionality at this time
Workaround: Create the bundle via the Microsoft Store on the web or Windows.
Xbox Design Lab customization is not currently supported.
Workaround: Use the Microsoft Store on the web or Windows to purchase.
Profile Color
Sometimes users may encounter the incorrect Profile color when powering on the console.
