In March we brought you the news that Xbox Game Hubs were in development for Xbox consoles. Hubs have been part of the Xbox Insider Program for some time and they will now be rolling out to all users this month.
Xbox Game Hubs introduce new ways to engage with your games. This includes the ability to see which of your friends play games you own, or are looking to buy; better access to your player stats and achievements for specific games; quicker access to available DLC and more.
Some users may find purchasable DLC front and centre an unwelcome, predatory move.
Xbox Game Hubs video walkthrough
Earlier this year, Tom Warren from The Verge shared a walkthrough video of some of the new features.
The June update also includes the ability to further customise your dashboard. The settings include the option to change the tile size of recently played games; as well as change the number of recently played games from four to nine.
The final addition to the June Xbox OS is improvement to cloud saves. The update enables users to see an upload progress bar as well as information about device names used and timestamps.
