The Xbox Wire had a rare Friday blog post detailing a number of new customization options for the Xbox UI, including pinning your favorite games.
The blog post can be found HERE, it details a number of new options including:
- Hide System Apps – Want a cleaner view focused on your games and entertainment? You can now hide system apps from the recently played games and apps list on Home, reducing clutter and keeping your Home focused on what matters most to you.
- Pin Favorites to Home – You can now pin up to three of your recently played games or apps directly to the recently played games and apps list. These pins will stay near the front of the list as you launch other things, giving you quick access to your go-to titles.
- Reduce Tile Count (Coming Soon!) – Prefer a more minimal look? This setting allows you to reduce the number of visible tiles in the recently played games and apps list, helping you streamline your Home and surface only the essentials. We’re still refining this setting, and it will be coming soon.
These options will come to Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead Xbox Insiders first for testing. They go on to detail why they’re doing these changes in the post, talking about how personal customization has been at the top of their requested lists from Xbox users.
