The New Xbox One Experience‘s home screen will also include access to pinned games and Xbox apps and recently played games at its bottom. The update, for example, makes the console more virtually social by letting you in on what your friends are playing and letting you interact through the new Activity Feed. Via the SmartGlass connections, you can use screen keyboard or your PC keyboard to type text on your Xbox One.

If you want to get the ultimate Xbox One gaming experience, you might be tempted by the Xbox One Elite Controller and all its customisation options.

Beta testing the New Xbox One Experience is on a different level than what Preview Program members are used to which is why you need to opt in and then confirm that you would like to participate due to the risks involved. There are several issues with the Live TV experience including compatibility with the Xbox One Cable/Satellite set top box.

A new Guide is available when you double-tap the Xbox button, giving users easy access to the Friends and Parties, Notifications, Messages, Settings, or Snap.

Also on the real-time front are updates to the Activity Feed.
