Netflix Xbox One App Redesigned, Looks Just Like PS4

A new update for the Xbox One's Netflix app includes a redesign that looks identical to the app's design on the PS4.

i preferred the old xbox one version as all though you could scroll right to left you also had the option of clicking on the .... to delve deeper into the particular category you were interested in while on he ps4 you only had the option to scroll from right to left and you are only presented with what netflix deems to be on the category spolight

[WildArmed]

Does it now include Max?

I liked the look of Xbox Netflix better, but I didn't like not having Max (helps pick movies when feeling lazy).

[tuglu_pati]

Why does the title has to mention PS4? Can it be just "Netflix Xbox One App Redesign". Why does everything has to be a console war on tis site?

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Journalist's think gamers are so caught up in this console war buissness we'll even fighter over a Netflix UI design.

Lol what's next Hulu design?

Gaming Journalism needs to be shot dead immediately.

This is as ridiculous, sad, pitful as it absolutely gets...

nothing-NEW

[SilentNegotiator]

I personally have found Max utterly useless.

[Jvaughn661]

This is the same ui design that smart tv's have for the netflix app. Maybe they're updating everything to look the same?

[Mustang300C2012]

They are which is why Netflix updated the One. Title is just flaimbait when just about every device including the 360 has the same UI.

[austinwgarcia]

My only issue with the old Xbox One version was being unable to choose specific episodes within a title. Other than that I liked the original design too

[Tctczach]

I may be miss remembering but I remember being able to do that.

[wicked]

yes, you could

[JeffGUNZ]

I hated the xbox one's old netflix UI. I hated having to see 5 movies or shows then click "see more titles" It made scrolling and searching horrendous. This simplifies it with less clicks. Does it support Super HD like Apple TV?

[choujij]

Sounds like an improvement. I personally couldn't stand the old Netflix app on Xbone.

[troylazlow]

I miss it already

[OpieWinston]

I certainly miss it...It didn't crash when I snapped it while playing games.

Why they had to revert it to what the 360 app is like is beyond me.

If it ain't broke...don't fix it.

You just broke it...

[LAWSON72]

I was wondering when Xbox One would get the new update, because every platform even Windows 8 got the update which took forever to get the profiles feature. Also the PS3 app is the same thing as well

[tortri]

Title sounds like MS forced netflix into making it look like PS4 Netflix.

[Software_Lover]

I think the W8 version is the best one. I hate the Vizio Netflix app

[JeffGUNZ]

I still prefer the Apple TV's Netlfix App.

[generalthadeape]

Xbox One user here-- I've been having an awful time with Netflix buffering every few minutes-- never had a problem on Xbox 360 or any of my other devices, just on Xbox One.

I've played with my settings and upped the option for highest quality playback on Netflix's website and while the buffering has gotten a little better, it's still there from time to time.

Does anyone know if this update has made any improvements to the quality of playback using Netflix on Xbox One or are these changes merely "cosmetic" in nature?

[DharmaDan108]

My playback quality has decreased a lot since this update. Was fine before.

[JeffGUNZ]

So far it's the same for me.

[True_Samurai]

Could've sworn it was like this at first.... Or was that the 360 version. Either way one of them had a interface like that

[incendy35]

It is ok, I liked the old interface better. At least we can still pin our shows to the start screen. Definitely understand why they want to keep the experience the same across all devices.

[RosweeSon]

Microsoft can't do an awful lot for themselves hence why I've gone nintendo and sony this gen, still got my 360 that'll do but getting boxed up soon had 6/7 years over my 3 or 4 consoles had a white an elite and of course had to get the Star Wars on, epic! But seriously xbox just copy everything off everybody, and the one time they had their own vision (e3 2013) within 24 hours they'd been ridiculed so much they had to do a 180, shambles not righting them off but they don't invent anything, anybody wants to say kinect can literally jog on it's an advanced ps2 eye toy with a wii sensor and all the other gubbins thrown in, there controller has the same face buttons as the SNES started everything about Microsoft Is just copied, Xbox live, basically Dreamarena from the dreamcast just fully fledged and not before it's time like dreamcasts attempt was, basically tho Microsoft just do what they think is the better stuff of the other 2 competitors it's just wether or not you agree on what Microsoft decide are the good parts, don't think I'll be getting an xbox until 2015 at the earliest and talking Christmas a good 15 months down the line if not 2016 on the dirt cheap, sub £300 with kinect thrown in as I'd rather have it than not even if it never gets used beats paying £129.99 for it later when maybe 1 good game comes out for it (I know 1 great game is too much to ask) and maybe titanfall and a couple of the other tops games and I'll jump in, original xbox was pants hence why I waited until it was reduced had the slim line s controller and 3 of the top games for £150 they had knocked over £100 off the price in less than a year, I can see it'll not get another price cut this year but even then don't think it'll be enough to sway me I want a major deal like I got with my launch day ps4 extra controller game and camera, still can barely get it for that price now 9 months later and all those months of free games, kerching no time or money for xbox even tho I'm Saving loads of cash on ps4 and nintendo consoles but yeah it just gets spent elsewhere xbox have gotta step their game up if they want any more of my cash and I'm a hardcore gamer.

[LAWSON72]

Paragraphs... what a wonder.

Anyways your points are lame. First off MS worked closely with Sega on the Dreamcast so it would make sense the Xbox would be inspired by it.

Just like everybody else on this site you downplay what the Xbox brand has accomplished and say they just copy the competition.

They kicked started indie/arcade games on consoles with XBLA, set a high standard for multiplayer gaming services with Xbox Live and continously innovated throughout it's life with party chat, improved and fresh UIs with new additions, and media apps. Also Kinect may not be a huge success but it is much more than an attempt at mimicking the competition it was an attempt at something new, if you want an example of just flat out copying the competition look at PS move.

Let's just ignore all that and probably multiple other things because it is cool to hate on Xbox these days. Anyways I give up trying to bring up points because your post is literally a bunch of words jumbled together with zero organization and effort.

As an Xbox 360 gamer for alot of last gen I know what the system has done over the course of its life and Xbox Live was a monster that just kept innovating and doing cool new things, and to downplay what it has accomplished is just wrong.

[qwerty676]

ok?

what does this have to do with xbox one netflix?

[RosweeSon]

Sorry about the essay just gotta out of work and everyone's in bed. Damn night shits ;)

[incendy35]

If you could learn how to write properly, perhaps you could get a daytime job. :P

[NatureOfLogic_]

If you didn't get so butt hurt from someone else opinion, perhaps you wouldn't sound like a dick. :P

[GameingmyLife]

Title is misleading.... you can tell a Fan Boy made this article.... LOL.... But yes it was updated to standard universal Netflix app.....

[Gears_President]

Its better whats the problem?

[JeffGUNZ]

EXACTLY! I cut the chord on cable two years ago and it's the best thing I have done. So, with that being said, Netflix is a big part of my life. I hated the Xbox One app, it was a chore searching for something and you only see like 4-6titles per bunch then you have to click at the bottom to see more. Just too much clicking and waiting to search for something. This speeds it up and puts it right in front of you.

Both my wife and I love this update. I still personally favor the Apple TV's netflix App which I have for my streaming device in my master bedroom. I feel that is the cleanest.

[Gears_President]

Good for you bro Netflix is soooo much better than regular cable especially when your a gamer.

[souldestroyer14]

That's actually the 360 layout

[Ra3030]

Same app huh?....... Well as long as they don't show the same movies!

[Tedakin]

I don't like this redesign. I was using it last night and it's confusing. The old one was better by a mile.
