A new Xbox UI refresh is becoming available to insiders:

Could this be a preview of what the Xbox Handheld UI could be like coming later this year? Or do you think it will still be Armory Crate?

What do you think of the UI?

It is a cool feature just disable it from the dashboard because it doesn't make sense in that context.

@Pedro: On the current consoles yeah but I feel like something like this will probably have to be the main UI of the next Xbox if game development moves to Windows, and then they will have shortcuts to the "Classic" environment games running in the to-be-deprecated Xbox ERA mode that you can launch from the previous gen.

Not a fan. Good thing it's optional.

Not interested enough to watch the video, but MS seriously needs to make better UI. The confusing and ugly adfest-thing they have going on now isn't great.

I do not find the Xbox UI ugly or an adfest.

At least the Xbox UI is usable (although they have some options in strange places). It's their PC UI that's the biggest issue

Guess I was mostly thinking of their MS store on PC, but I've also witnessed some horror pics of console UI. That doesn't seem bad though. ^

The UI on the console is pretty decent.
