Is the New Xbox One Experience the one we've been looking for?

Anthony writes "The new Xbox One Experience is here. The interface has been completely overhauled, but is this the new experience Xbox owners have been looking for since Xbox One’s inception?"

I wasn't a fan at first but the more you get used to it, nearly everything is easier to access.

[pandehz]

I know.

You're not certain about the UI at first coz its so new but then its like playing a game intuitively knowing the controls.

[cfc83]

Yeah, pretty much so. Would have preffered a much better store, but it's their pockets and not mine. Really like the U.I though.

[neil363]

Yeh, I'm not too keen on the store. In fact, I dislike the way it opens up again to reveal the different sub sections. Confuses me.

The rest though, very nice indeed. Especially the Game Hubs.

[Yetter]

I like it way more than the old store where you had to essentially load an app to view the store

[hiawa23]

I did not have an issue with the previous, but I have enjoyed the NXE thanks to the Preview Program for some time, and I really like the new dash. Well job, Microsoft..

Can someone please explain to me, how i get to the overview of all games when in the full screen achievements app? I can't figure it out. It just always opens the 'last played' page.

[yankolo]

Go up to ur gamertag there u can see all ur achievements

[KUV1977]

Thanks! Will try. It's weird, that the achievement-app has Trouble navigating achievements.

[mark_parch]

yep really annoying that when you click achievements it opens in snap and not full screen hope they patch it soon i would also like to remove games from the ready to install list like before

[welly300]

Great improvement but the store needs work. Still think sony has the best ui this gen but its getting close.

"Xbox One Experience"

So is this the new UI, and is it released yet?

[retrogamer09]

I love it just got my free Gears of war tokens too so Imma just into the multiplayer in a bit.

[KUV1977]

Can you tell me how that token-thing works? I assume it's from the Ultimate Edition? I have played it but have no Tokens. Do I have to do something Special to get them?

[retrogamer09]

II got my tokens from a notification on the smartglass app on my phone. It should also be in your notifications on your Xbox One. Once you get that notification you can literally redeem it and the games will show up ready for install. You also had to buy and play gears of war ultimate edition for a certain time period. I literally just got mine yesterday and didn't see the notification until I looked at my smart glass app on my Iphone. There's no special thing you have to do. If you played the games and had Xbox Live gold then you should be getting it as a notification or in your inbox to redeem also you need to have the latest updates as well.

[KUV1977]

Thanx. I will just run it again. I bought it first day. The promo even says 'Play it before Dec 31st'.

[Automatic79]

Love the New look. Fast responsive and most importantly effective. The X button brings back the Xbox 360 feeling of simplicity.

[Summons75]

I like it a lot. The last one and the one the 360 has were all about throwing ads in your face despite having a paid subscription. Now the main thing on the screen is the game/movie/app you are using and a small ad on the side. It just looks a lot neater too compared to the metro look of the previous one. Hope the intern at MS who thought metro block style was a good idea was fired due to being an idiot.

[lastking95]

the speed is great, My only complaint is community and store.

[Ickythump31]

I still miss the 360 blades.

no lie.

[thexmanone]

push start and menu at the same time while playing a BC game and its there.

[Ickythump31]

get out

[mark_parch]

i think it's great, everything is one button away but please for the love of god fix it so achievements opens full screen and not in snap
