Microsoft makes the Xbox app on Windows PC much better with a new feature it’s been missing since release

Microsoft has introduced a new feature called "Home" for the Xbox app on Windows, which provides a user-friendly Home screen displaying featured game releases, new Game Pass additions, upcoming events, top game deals, and personalized game recommendations. The app also includes a Compact Mode for quick access to recently played games. Currently, the Home menu is available exclusively to Xbox Insiders, who can join the Xbox Insider Program for free. This update aims to address previous criticisms regarding the app's performance and navigation issues.
