Microsoft is cooking something good for the Xbox. And everybody will have a taste of it come November 19. Microsoft announced the new design that the Xbox will sport right from Tokyo. Called as the New Xbox Experience, the launch will happen simultaneously in 26 countries and 19 languages.
Aside from the base Xbox interface, the Marketplace is going to be different too. It will have better screenshots, descriptions, and information available to users. And even if you are not in front of your device, you can still go through the same site through the internet. The goal is to keep the Xbox connected to the internet and the internet to the Xbox.
One notable improvement on the interface is the removal of the blade look. Now, users will see the all the windows fully spread out on the screen. It is quite easier to find the information that you need. Before, the windows are stacked on top of each other. As such, navigation is a little too tricky.
The avatar on the new Xbox interface is much better now too. Each of the little people on the screen is uniquely dressed, has its own hair style, skin color, and fashion accessories. Customize your avatar the way you want it. These cute characters do add fun to the whole gaming experience.
The new interface would also allow multiple users to chat and talk to each other at the same time. Sending text messages to groups is possible too. You can also access the profile of your friends through the interface. Check out what they’re playing at the moment and join in.
To get the new look, all a user has to do is to update the firmware of their system. However, for those who would want to keep the original interface, they can skip doing this step. They might not be able to play the newer games available though.
