Microsoft has revamped the Game Bar interface, giving it a sleeker, more minimalist look with fewer distractions, making it easier to use and visually appealing. Key widgets like Capture, Performance, Resources, and the Widget Store have been optimized for smoother navigation. According to Microsoft, this redesign is just the first step in a series of visual updates planned for the near future.
One of the most exciting new features is switching between cloud games without returning to the home screen. Initially, this option is available only for Assassin’s Creed titles, but Microsoft has promised to expand it to more games soon.
Additionally, the “stream your own game” feature now supports even more titles, giving Game Pass Ultimate members access to a wider gaming library.
The update also brings extra perks for free-to-play games on Game Pass. Players can now unlock cosmetic items, characters, and in-game currency in games like Heroes of the Storm, with Call of Duty: Warzone set to join the lineup soon. These enhancements highlight Microsoft’s commitment to providing added value for its subscribers.
With these updates, Microsoft is not only improving functionality but also solidifying its position as a leader in the gaming industry. The company is reshaping how players engage with their favorite games by combining a more intuitive design with exciting new features.
