What you need to know

  • Xbox Game Pass is a monthly subscription service that gives you access to over 200 games.
  • It's available for Xbox One and PC.
  • The iOS app just received an update that overhauls the interface.
  • It's much more fluid and user friendly now.

Today, the Xbox Game Pass app for iOS received a major update that overhauls the interface. Not only is the new layout sleeker, but it easily lets you choose between Xbox Game Pass for Xbox One or PC. You just have to press and tab and you're there. Maybe Microsoft will use the same design language when it comes to the main Xbox app by the time Xbox Series X hits store shelves.

Someone named "intellectual_badass" first noted the update on Reddit and posted a screenshot. We were able to verify that the app got an update with a new look.

  • You tried The Messenger? Freaking awesome. I also agree on the layout, then again the PC Xbox app still hasn't grown on me fully. I see they are trying to align these.
