Description:
Xbox Series X and Series S consoles are starting to receive a UI update, but 
its still not the update we want.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

While the Xbox Series X has been an impressive piece of hardware since its 
launch in 2020, players have consistently voiced their issues with its 
outdated dashboard. 

Hosting the same dash and UI as the Xbox One , its been a constant cause for 
debate among players, especially since the Xbox Series X is designed to take 
generational leaps over Microsofts family of consoles. 

Larry Hyrb ( @majornelson ) tweeted to announce that an update is starting to 
roll out across a subset of Xbox consoles to overhaul the search page with 
several quality-of-life improvements, such as visible filter categories and 
gallery-style search results, but its not the update that I have been waiting 
for. Starting to roll out today to a subset of Xbox consoles  you will be 
able to discover a refresh of the console search page. This includes a sleek 
new look, gallery-style results, visible filter categories navigable with 
RB/LB, the option to search on YouTube within the Movies

Although it is a visual improvement to the search page, in response to the 
tweet announcing the silent update, some people have been quick to express 
their disinterest and disappointment in the update. Several users went as far 
as to state that they see very little point in the update since the store 
page for both the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S now looks significantly 
better than the home screen. 

But despite the efforts of consumers to express their opinion of the existing 
dashboard and how the console pair would benefit from a complete overhaul, 
there are currently no plans to roll out a further update to target this, and 
given the console is now almost three years old, its hard to believe that a 
new dashboard will be implemented in the near future. 

While the current Xbox Series X and Series S dash is simple to navigate, 
especially for anyone who previously had an Xbox One, an up-to-date dashboard 
to coincide with the current-gen expectations would help define the console 
further. The PS5 's UI was a smart and fast evolution on the PS4 , so it is 
disappointing to see that Microsoft hasn't followed suit yet. 

Regarding the new update for the search page, the UI has a more sleek feel in 
certain areas, which could easily translate to a dashboard overhaul, and it 
does help the console look the part. However, these changes have only 
emphasized the need to stray from the Xbox One interface and create something 
more lustrous across the entire console rather than waiting until the launch 
of the next Xbox. Play the console at its best with the best monitors for 
Xbox Series X
