This changes will seek to refine the social aspect of the Xbox dashboard. Ybarra stated:

“This month, we’re focused on continuing to improve social features to help you stay connected to the Xbox Live community across console and PC, while bringing these experiences closer together”.

Key features include joinable Twitch broadcasts, the ability to hide games from the ‘ready to install’ list, an update to suggested friends, and improvements to trending.

Perhaps most exciting is the return of the gamerscore leaderboard, which had previously been removed from the Xbox One dashboard. Once again, players will be able to compare their achievements and gamerscore with their friends to see who’s gained the most over the last 30 days. This will add a competitive edge to the gaming experience.

The achievement leaderboard is back!

Xbox News updates will also appear in activity feeds as “a one-stop source for all the latest information about new hardware, console updates, game releases, tournaments…breaking entertainment content, and more”.
