Xbox Insider update adds background shuffling and Guide repositioning

Xbox is adding new personalization features for Xbox Insider members starting November 12. Alpha Skip-Ahead members can access these updates first, and Xbox says the features will be rolled out to more Insiders and players over time.

The update allows users to use rotating dynamic backgrounds on the Home screen. Players can save favorite backgrounds or shuffle through a whole category. These backgrounds can be set to change every time a user signs in, or on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis, according to Xbox.

For the game library, Xbox is adding a way to separate games with digital licenses claimed from discs into their own category. Users can also choose to keep those games alongside their other owned titles or hide the digital license icon on game tiles.

The update also lets players move the Xbox Guide to either the left or right side of the screen.
