Xbox Is Experimenting With An Extra Button Press To Open Games

Microsoft has started testing a new Xbox Game Hubs feature with Xbox Insiders. It means you might have to press the Xbox A button twice to launch games soon.

PS5 needs that. It's annoying to press X on a game and accidentally close the one you're playing.

Huh I don’t think I have ever experience that in my life, with any console nor have I heard anyone complain about it, but i guess it’s a thing.
I think it will be more annoying I have to press x/a then select the start button more then anything.

Yes as I stated “ nor have I heard anyone complain about it, but i guess it’s a thing.”

Turns out people can’t read 😂

It's happened to me quite a few times. When I'm playing a game and press the PS button to go and look at screenshots gallery or something, I might accidentally press to start the wrong game and quit out by mistake. PS4 used to have a "are you sure you want to close application/game" or something along those lines - been a while.

I’ve went to the home menu many times while playing a game then go to open the game back up and click the wrong game and it close the one I’m playing. I’m like ugh!

I can't say I've done that but to some extent I feel the old PS4 sidebar was superior to the ps5 dock for those actions I could run that thing blindfolded with the tv off

It’s for the button mashers I guess

And boy are there a lot of them. I really like the ones that button mash through instructions and then go: "so what am I supposed to be doing?"

I'm in the Alpha Skip Ahead tier of the preview program and I just got this a couple days ago and I hate it lol. I know it's just pressing A twice instead of once to start a game, but it's so unnecessary. The first A press isn't showing me anything important.

i guess i had this happen by accident once or twice.

a warning is all we need rly. like "hey this other game is still running, u sure ?"
