Xbox One is redesigning its dashboard yet again
The biggest change to the Xbox dashboard is that users will be able to create custom content blocks based on games they like to play, friends they follow, and where they put their pinned games. It’s easy enough to add content blocks—simply select a friend or game and select “Add to Home.” Content blocks for games will continually update with news from developers, which friends are playing the game, or even suggest an achievement you’re close to earning. In other words, Xbox is always watching you.
The update also brings with a focus on the more “social” aspect of Xbox One. The dashboard will look at the games you play and suggest friends based on other players who play that particular game, meaning you could have complete strangers messaging you and asking to be your friend soon because being hassled and stalked by strangers is exactly what every gamer wants in their life.
The Guide is also easier and quicker to navigate, as long as Xbox doesn’t change it again right after you’ve learned how to navigate it like they always do.
The latest update is only available right now for Alpha Ring Insiders, with general availability coming later in the fall. So, if you like the current state of your Xbox One dashboard and don’t want to see it changed, you have a little more time to spend with it before it disappears forever into the shadowy caverns of forgotten memories that is your mind.

I see more ad space is being used, on the home screen about 1/3 to 1/2 of the bottom row is ad space. I'm sorry, but if i'm paying a yearly subscription I don't want to see more ads.

Echo Don't like the current one tbh, This one seems alright actually, Nothing beats 360 dash though IMO
Ikr, the 360's dashboard was legendary.

I had some concerns when I heard about it but after I received the update today I was happy what they did. Everything is more faster than before and I was able to access most things without any problems. I noticed they removed the rare achievements feature which I'm curious is to why since that feature is barely a year old.
