Xbox controversial update slammed as ‘one big ad’ by fans

Xbox fans are seriously unhappy with the system update which was recently rolled out on Series X/S and Xbox One, and it’s not hard to see why.

Bethesda’s enormous space-exploration RPG,Starfield, is set to launch onXbox Series X/S in September. Take a look at the story trailer below.

As DualShockersreports, this same complaint has led some to slam the update as “one big ad”, as it seems impossible to boot up your console without being shown a lineup of games you’ve never played before. Reddit user kiciputekwrote: “I like the main screen but anything under it is a total mess. It is like a one big ad, even if you create a group, it is shown under the ‘most played games’ line with random games from the store.”

Others have been sharing similar sentiments: “Why have aGame Passapp at all if everything in it is now on my Home Screen? Not to mention you can only have two groups pinned to Home now the rest is reserved for Game Pass/store adverts,” rahhaharriscommented. “‘Game Pass ad interface’ ain’t it. What everyone wants… less customisation. Really disappointed in this,”addedajaman2006.

Unfortunately for the critics, the new Home UI doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere anytime soon.
