Haven't searched the thread, but has anyone had their update randomly rolled back? I've had the new dashboard for a couple of weeks now. The one that is all one single universal tab, and then earlier this week I turned the Xbox on and it's back to the same dashboard I've had for a year or so now....

They're doing experiments where a test version of the dash is available and they roll it back. They just released 2 new versions of the dash and are doing a 3 group test, 2 groups testing out different versions of a new dash and 1 group on the older dash as a control group.

Yeah, I miss having the 4 options there for Store, Settings, Game Pass and My Games. They seem to have other larger buttons for them but I would rather the smaller ones and a cleaner dash. It is damn quick currently, so I hope that stays haha.

I noticed in the Insider App a few days ago that there was a question asking if you'd like to be considered to be in the running for the Alpha Skip-Ahead. Maybe they are going to let some more people in. It said that it's not definite that you will be picked if you opt in. I'm in the Preview Beta right now.

Finally got the new dash. Instant removed those weird pins at the bottom with store, community etc. Looks ugly and dont see a point in having them when they are above with tiles also.
And like i said before. They need a settings tile also. Or a hint that settings are hiding behind the guide button. New people will have no clue.

Yeah, I got one of the new dashes, and then they put me back on the old slow one for a couple of weeks, and now I have the one with the four tiles, so I guess that's the A version. I had that one on the Preview Beta and it stayed when I switched over to Skip-Ahead Alpha.

This is a minor issue but I could not find the answer anywhere.

I'm I going crazy or has the colour temperature changed on the dashboard over the last week or so? It looks different on my TV

I actually like it more now, but I'd like to know if I'm going crazy or not. Thanks.

The new Dashboard is great, I've been in the Group A twice now, the worse part is when they stupidly remove, sure it's only "testing" but if you're not having any issues it really sucks going back to the old awful one. The Group A at least, deemphasizes how gawdy the ads on your paid(if you have gold) home screen looks, which is a good thing.

Don't get too used to it, they'll take it away, I think they should allow you to toggle back if you want it.

Wait what, there's different groups? I was wondering why my dash was different than before, but not with the 4 tiles. Guess I'm Group B then?

Yup, they don't really communicate these things very well, it's easy enough to have a link from inside the Xbox Insider app on the console to their webpage via MS Edge.

What's Next for the Xbox One Home Dashboard


Xbox engineers were performing "AB" experiments in previous releases. This means that a random selection of our Xbox Insider audience received the new changes, while others were the control group with the standard Home experience.

We are doing things a little differently with this next phase, starting with what we call "ABC" experiments. Three groups are randomly selected for two versions of Home experiments, while a third group is our control group.

This new phase starts today, Thursday, October 17th! Xbox Insiders from Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead are eligible for these Home experiments and may see the changes with the latest preview update.

  • Alpha Skip-Ahead users should update to their latest preview OS build, which will be made available at 2 p.m. PT today, before determining if you have the new Home experience. (Release notes found here.)
  • Alpha's preview update from yesterday has prepared Alpha devices for this new phase. Try power cycling the Xbox One console before determining if you have the new Home experience.
"ABC" Experiments for Home


console_home_EXP3.png




Group A will see four new content blocks for what the twists were previously. This dashboard will look similar to previous Home experiments.


console_home_EXP4_Games-1.png





Group B will have a single button under their main dashboard tile for My Games & Apps, rather than the four content blocks Group A will experience.



Note: Changes to tiles during previous Home experiments do not carry over with new iterations.

Those in Group C (our control group) are just as important in this process! You're providing us data on the current performance of the Xbox One Home dashboard we all see today. Your data shows how successful our work is for you.



Each step we take with the Xbox One Home dashboard allows us to adjust the placement and user-friendliness of buttons and tiles, increase visibility of console features, optimize dashboard and menu commands, and transform Home into the hub for all things Xbox! Groups A and B are chosen at random from select Xbox One Update Preview rings. The Xbox Insider Team cannot influence who is chosen for these feature releases.

You scroll down in the list to the different sections to access Mixer or see a landing page for the store. That's really the biggest difference.

That said, I've been blowing them up with feedback about how the Games and Apps button should be dynamic or something because it looks dumb the way it is now.
