Microsoft Updates Xbox PC App, Says It's 60% Faster

Microsoft has updated the Xbox PC app so it’s faster and simpler, it said.

The Xbox PC app, available on PC, web, and cloud, launches up to 60% faster and makes it easier to find games, Jason Beaumont, VP, Xbox Experiences, said in a blog post. The changes are being rolled out to Xbox Insiders first, before wider availability.

Specifically, pages like Home, Store, and Game Pass load up to 50% faster, and in-app windows open up to 65% faster. But it’s worth noting that these results are based on Microsoft’s internal testing, and may be different for you depending on your device and internet connection.

We’re making XBOX on Windows faster and more responsive. Starting today, we’re rolling out updates that make our app up to 60% faster. A meaningful improvement, with plenty more to do. https://t.co/h5kzHSpR8H
