The Xbox PC app is getting a speed boost
The updated app, rolling out to Xbox Insiders first, launches up to 60 percent faster.
Microsoft has enhanced the Xbox PC application, launching it up to 60 percent swifter for Xbox Insiders. The update, introduced on Thursday, brings performance and navigation improvements, paving the way for a broader release. The PC app's launch time has been significantly reduced, allowing users to jump into their games less wait.
Key pages such as Home, Store, and Game Pass will load up to 50 percent quicker, while windows within the app will open up to 65 percent faster, according to Microsoft's internal testing. The update also streamlines the app's library, introducing updated filters and improved game organization. Search functionality has been unified, encompassing games, installed titles, people, and add-ons in one place.
Friends and social features have been integrated into the main navigation, accompanied by a cleaner design featuring redesigned game cards and a refreshed Home page and Settings. Additionally, Microsoft will roll out a redesigned Xbox web experience to more players, similar to the one previewed in January, and extend redesigns to its Xbox cloud gaming apps for TVs and VR headsets.
