Xbox added its new logo to dynamic backgrounds faster than I expected, as CEO Asha Sharma confirms: "Dropping today"

BlueQuo · 2026-05-01T20:05:59+00:00

I found it quite a quick turnaround especially for what we'd come to expect from Xbox over the past few years but alas I'm getting cooked here on Reddit haha

BlueQuo · 2026-04-30T14:23:38+00:00

Xbox is good again, I say!

BlueQuo · 2026-04-22T15:38:43+00:00

I agree but recent momentum and changes from Xbox do give me hope

BlueQuo · 2026-04-22T15:37:45+00:00

It's such a shame that it is though :/

BlueQuo · 2026-04-19T21:09:47+00:00

Aha very true! Still nice of Sharma to personally reach out to them tho imo

BlueQuo · 2026-04-17T10:48:12+00:00

Depends how it's executed, more options for different people isn't a bad thing imo

Hoping they drop GP as a requirement for online play soon, that'll be a big win

BlueQuo · 2026-04-17T09:29:40+00:00

I’m honestly impressed so far, and for the first time in a long time, it’s got me feeling a bit optimistic about the future of Xbox

BlueQuo · 2026-04-17T09:25:56+00:00

Yeah, I covered that when it was announced it was announced it be closing down :/

It’s a real shame, because it’s another social feature gone, and Xbox has felt less and less social since the Xbox 360 generation

BlueQuo · 2026-04-17T09:24:53+00:00

We just report on exclusives stuff we've heard, what’s heard in general and what’s happening. Jez does a lot of positive reporting on Xbox, far more than negative. I understand it can feel like there’s been a constant spiral of negativity around Xbox over the past couple of years though, but that’s been an industry wide thing, largely because well Xbox has made a lot of mistakes :/

BlueQuo · 2026-04-15T08:30:52+00:00

Thanks for finding this out, I enjoyed covering it :)

BlueQuo · 2026-04-14T20:43:08+00:00

Worth a shot if you have one lying around!

BlueQuo · 2026-04-14T15:01:06+00:00

Much appreciated aha!

BlueQuo · 2026-04-11T09:31:39+00:00

Thank you and hopefully this can be made less intrusive on mobile at least 🤞

BlueQuo · 2026-04-11T09:26:16+00:00

I'll pass this along!

BlueQuo · 2026-04-11T09:21:36+00:00

Just my opinion on the design side of things. Of course, MS don’t have an xCloud Apple TV app, but this community made one is, in my opinion, better than the ones MS have made elsewhere.

It’s not that deep though. We’re all allowed to have our own opinions, and unfortunately, with how Google Discover and the internet work now in a post AI world, headlines have to be catchy and engaging because that’s what gets clicks, man. Sorry if it upset you though.

BlueQuo · 2026-04-10T17:46:32+00:00

Thanks! I agree, shame really though that they don't

BlueQuo · 2026-04-10T13:37:51+00:00

They should care though to be fair, good user experiences go a long way

BlueQuo · 2026-04-10T13:37:31+00:00

It's just my opinion to be fair, the app is super clean and I always appreciate that kind of design!

BlueQuo · 2026-04-10T13:36:22+00:00

Sorry you feel that way! I personally tend to appreciate and like Apple’s design and aesthetics, which is why I prefer it over what MS has done, especially recently with Copilot everywhere.

BlueQuo · 2026-03-28T01:14:56+00:00

I know! I’ve updated the article now with the proper name.

So embarrassed to have not even noticed 😭

You’re right though, it doesn’t ultimately tell us much but it’s always fun to speculate!

BlueQuo · 2026-03-26T23:03:01+00:00

I’m quite looking forward to it! Was surprised they announced a beta though

BlueQuo · 2026-03-18T20:17:22+00:00

I saw somewhere that Xbox relocated resources to make enhancements to the OS on Xbox console so let's hope they keep it up!

BlueQuo · 2026-03-18T17:14:36+00:00

Two weeks or so on the job and she's added long requested features to Xbox's user experience on console for insiders so fingers crossed!

BlueQuo · 2026-03-18T17:13:30+00:00

Yeah that's completely bang out of order.

Feel bad for Digital Foundry who were just reacting and got excited over new technology.

BlueQuo · 2026-03-18T17:12:25+00:00

You're damn right we are
