Xbox Game Bar Update Adds New Features and Improvements
Outside of the Destiny 2 widget, the Game Bar Widget Store's first additions offer players greater control over video mixing, lighting, and more. More information on each of these specific offerings can be found in the link in the Tweet below.
In addition to the new widget store, Xbox has made improvements to Game Bar's functionality. One of these enhancements gives players control over click-through. Players can now decide whether or not mouse clicks over pinned widgets effect the widget, or the actual game. It's a minor change, but one that should make Game Bar far less intrusive. On a similar note, players can also make Game Bar transparent now, so the overlay doesn't obscure the field of vision in a game. According to Microsoft, both of these features were added based on user feedback.
It will be interesting to see if other developers embrace Game Bar the way that Bungie has. The Game Bar Widget Store sounds like a promising way for gamers to make their PC gaming experience more unique to them, and it's not hard to imagine all of the various possibilities that could come about, as a result. As the video game industry continues to expand, players want greater control over their experiences, and it's not difficult to imagine how developers could find a number of different ways to offer just that.

It's been laggy since the day it was introduced. Hardly convinced me any update will fix it after so many have tried.

tO0t I find the Xbox game at very buggy, I can't get party sound to work on it at all even though I set the default sound setting to my headphones. Hopefully this is fixed in the update
Yeah same, I've always said it's shocking.
