The new and “improved”Xbox Home screen hasn’t exactly been a hit with gamerssince rolling out yesterday.

The new home UI has been in the works for months; we first reported on it in September last year when it wasfirst released to the Xbox Insider Program’s Alpha Skip Ahead Ring. Yesterday’s launch was limited to a select subset of users.

The new Home experiencewas meant to be a more personalized and user-friendly one. However, some gamers have taken tothe r/XboxSeriesX subredditto voice their frustration with the new Xbox Home UI.

The original post by user Spiderwolfer complains, “Generally I don’t mind the new Xbox Home Screen layout but I don’t feel like it’s much better either.”

PLEASE tell me I can get rid of this…byu/SpiderwolferinXboxSeriesX

The post continues,

What I really wanted was for our custom groups to be at the top of the screen and this has put them down even further. This is a pretty annoying inconvenience and wish they had thought this through a little more. PLEASE consider changing this.

Spiderwolfer isn’t alone in this sentiment, either. Hundreds have commented on the post, mostly sharing the same criticism of the new Xbox Home screen. A common point of frustration seems to be Microsoft’s perceived indifference to feedback, even in the Xbox Insider Program.
