Xbox owners are getting more customizations for backgrounds and the Guide menu

Microsoft is testing new customization options for Xbox consoles, including rotating backgrounds, library options for digital games, and the ability to reposition the Xbox Guide menu. Eden Marie, principal software engineering lead at Xbox, announced these features, allowing users to save favorite dynamic backgrounds, shuffle through them automatically, and set them to change at different intervals.

The company is also improving the organization of disc-to-digital games on Xbox consoles, displaying these titles in a separate category and enabling users to hide the digital license icon on game tiles. Additionally, Xbox Insiders can choose to have the Guide menu appear on either the left or right side of the screen. These features will be rolled out to more Xbox Insiders and players in the future.
