Xbox One Preview users can opt into Windows 10-based 'New Xbox One Experience'
But as Microsoft notes, getting the update will require a bit of patience. The opt-in process is also somewhat complicated. Here’s how it works:
Microsoft says the new software will first roll out to Preview users who have provided lots of feedback in the past. Invites are rolling out in waves over several weeks, and opting in now doesn’t mean you’re part of the initial wave.
If all this sounds like too much hassle, you can just wait until November, when the New Xbox One Experience will launch for everyone.
Why this matters: More than just a feature update, the new software will completely change the Xbox One’s look and feel. It borrows heavily from the Xbox app in Windows 10, while putting an emphasis on launching games quickly and looping you into friends’ activity. The update also adds backwards compatibility with Xbox 360 games for all users, with more than 100 games available at first. In other words, Preview users should have plenty of reasons for wanting to get in early.
