@Shpeshal_Nick is there any way of letting MVG know about this article? I’m not on ̶T̶w̶i̶t̶t̶e̶r̶, sorry, “X”.

Done

@BadNews

is there a way to have more of your groups show up on the new dashboard? I can’t seem to find that option

Nope. You only get 2. It’s an absolutely horrible updated experience compared to the old dashboard that was so customizable. They have ignored months of feedback.

Gotcha, that is awful and doesn’t work for me that had everything super organized . I wouldn’t have mind if there was a drop down that let me choose the tab I want by clicking it. That would work much better than what we currently have because I had all of my games perfectly laid out by genres. The update is pretty much a gamepass advertisement. I think if they did my dropdown idea for groups. Then I think this update could’ve worked tbh, but in it’s current form it’s a downgrade except for the home page

Have the new dashboard and while I like it more than the previous dashboard, it’s not by much.

I am happy that when I click on settings, it does NOT appear as a tile but that happiness was short lived because if you select the accessories setting, that DOES appear as a tile. So freaking stupid. And your dynamic background isn’t all that much visible compared to before. It seems more or less the same. But whatever, it is what it is.

i got the new dash and it doesnt do that thing where it changes to whatever game you select like tom henderson showed. . its fine. Im not glad i can see my background but hopefully it keeps running smooth. xbox has this thing where a new ui comes out. it runs good for a few months then starts to lag. im cool with it either way.

Things I want now

• HDR to dash. OLED owners know why
• update achievements
• fix the dvr.
• I really dont know why any of these have not been adresses at all.
• bring back achievement leaderboards.
• just get rid of avatars if your not gonna use them.
• Let more people make dynamic backgrounds

Yeah same as me, it’s aesthetically better than before but functionality and usability is basically unchanged for my use.

@Thebaconlife

Go to settings personalize, my background, and click reset to default

That’s a seperate setting you have to change to select per game background.

Yeah its awful.

But i dont think they ignored the feedback. First it was only one group you could pin. Then numerous people complained about it because one pin group is already reserved for the OS function Quick Resume. So now we got 2 (two). Thanks, Xbox!

@Thebaconlife

update achievements

bring back achievement leaderboards.

Update achievements in which way?

What do you mean with achievement leaderboards? The monthly leaderboard for your friends list is still there.

@Thebaconlife

just get rid of avatars if your not gonna use them.

The avatar redesign thing is really a bit absurd. Xbox invested lots of time in redoing them and they are nowhere to be seen. What was the plan here?

[pip-boy3000]

@jasheeldz

Also got the new dash.

Why doesn’t pressing LB and RB switch between the little icons at the top? We are so close to basically having the blades back

Just got it and yeah, the first thing I did was instinctively press the bumpers to change tab and…nothing happened lol.

Disney Speedstorn is part of free play days now. Nice!

I thought it was free-to-play game from the outset?

@jasheeldz

Good point, forgot about that. I did look for it a while back and it wasn’t free then, but I think those were only early access versions?

@Doncabesa

there are no games that wouldn’t benefit from game pass, but if people want things to keep coming to the platform then they need to support what they want with sales when necessary

True, and if it’s good I might get it. Just not sure when, because I’m not finished yet with RDR2 and Starfield is quite soon now. That’s going to gobble up all my gaming time, easily.

But maybe it’s just me, but GP could do with some better indie titles, especially lately. But again, that’s subjective. I’m sure several titles came out that folks loved.

@Kals_Els

Airoheart is also a great one, it’s more A link to the past Zelda inspired than anything recent but it’s really good.

Gonna look into this.

Surprised the Xbox store doesn’t list the new Oceanhorn yet. Only the first one.

[pip-boy3000]

Disney Speedstorm will be F2P when it launches but costs $30 for Early Access.

So far it’s a good update/change for me.

I like that themes/backgrounds are better visible. I like how I can easily go to latest released games. And perhaps I’m wrong, but it seems the dash and everything overall is faster?

It’s not great, but you can still access all your groups by pressing the Xbox button and expanding My Games & Apps.

I bought the $30 version day1. It’s pretty fun, definitely going to make my top 10. I look forward to new seasons. Right now it’s toy story season 2. Season 3 Lilo and Stitch starts soon. Jump in

Forgot about this. Almost thought this was the unannounced game they were referring to.

[TheLegendaryGamer]

@BRiT

It was a great game. It’s on sale for $12 this week. So anyone looking to buy it cheap, its a good price now.

The DLC is $9 with the 10% GamePass discount.

Its a good game. Lots of minor nuance though, has a couple of bugs/glitches that made me had to restart again after getting stuck. The auto save is great. Thought i was gone to lose progress, but loaded back in and it was all there everytime. Has that AA jank, but overall a good game 8 out of 10 if i were to rate it.
