The Xbox app on PC now features a new Game Bar interface for gamers

The Xbox March Update is here, bringing a new Game Bar interface for gamers.

PC gamers will enjoy a refreshed and streamlined Game Bar interface. This includes redesigned widgets like the Home Bar, Capture widget, and Performance widget, making accessing essential tools and information easier. In addition, controller navigation within the Game Bar has been enhanced, improving the overall experience for gamers using controllers on PCs and Windows-based handheld devices.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers can now enjoy more in-game perks for popular free-to-play titles. These benefits include exclusive content such as cosmetic items, characters, and in-game currency, providing an enriched gaming experience. Current offerings are available for games like Heroes of the Storm, Naraka: Bladepoint, and The Finals. Starting next month, these benefits will extend to titles like Call of Duty: Warzone and Enlisted, giving players even more value from their subscriptions.

Players using Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) will notice smoother game transitions. For instance, fans of a game series like Assassin’s Creed Shadows can seamlessly switch between titles in the franchise without returning to the home screen, creating a more fluid and immersive experience. Furthermore, more titles have been added to the “Stream Your Own Game” collection, which is available for Game Pass Ultimate members, expanding the library of games that can be streamed directly from the cloud.

These updates will gradually roll out to all Xbox users by the end of the month, so it’s just a matter of days until you can experience the new Game Bar.
