Microsoft has announced a set of new Xbox One dashboard features that will start to roll out to Alpha Preview members in the June update. These won’t be available to the wider Xbox One user population until a later date, but as usual the preview features give us an advance look at what’s coming.
A new customization option called Groups will allow you to create custom collections of games and apps. They’re essentially custom sets of Pins, so you’ll be able to display multiple collections on the Home and the My Games and Apps menus. Your Groups will be tied to your Xbox Live account, so they’ll appear consistently across multiple consoles.
Other new features include an improved search, with the function mapped to Y across anywhere in the dashboard and easier access to displaying more results. You’ll also be able to store multiple wi-fi passwords, and the Narrator will add five more languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Swedish, and Dutch. The notes mention an improvement to family sharing with child accounts.
Some users will also get experimental features as pilot tests for the future. The full announcement also includes notes on changes made based on user feedback, and bug fixes.
