Xbox Insiders Get New Ways to Personalize Home

Starting this week, Xbox Insiders will notice a fresh set of customization options rolling out to the recently played games and apps list on Home. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to your feedback.

What’s New?

The recently played games and apps list on Home is getting three new settings that give you more control over what you see and how you interact with your content:

• 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 new options will be available to Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha users first, and we’re eager to hear what you think. Your feedback will help shape how these options evolve before they roll out more broadly.

Why It Matters

We’ve heard from many of you that Home should feel more like your space. Whether it’s surfacing your favorite games, hiding what you don’t use, or simply making Home feel less crowded, this update is a direct response to that feedback.

As always, you can share your thoughts via Report a Problem or join the conversation on the Xbox Insiders subreddit. Your input is a key part of how we build the future of Xbox.
