Ouya user interface getting facelift this month

4.7
Ouya will receive an update sometime in the next few weeks that will improve the system's user interface, Engadget reported. Upon installing the update, the Android-based micro-console's UI will more prominently feature cover art for games in sections like the "Discover" page.

Additionally, double-tapping on games will pull up a new menu that offers game recommendations and allows users to purchase and "like" games.

The update will also add support for external USB storage and the ability to add games to your Ouya queue via the console's web store. This month's system update will automatically add BombSquad and Amazing Frog: The Hopping Dead to players' download queues as well, though they'll need to purchase either game to play them to completion.

Dreams this is the first im hearing of a console called ouya must be in some foreign country


It is sold worldwide.
When it first came out it was a big deal but slowly died off.


It was really only popular before it was released.. nobody really gave it much attention after that point.


It gained quite a bit of chatter amongst gamers and then almost disappeared.
No major titles are on this system.

Just indie games.


Before looking at this article it had been around 2 months since i had actually heard of it. Too bad that it didn't really live up to our expectations

Veszperr I've had one since launch and I can say without a doubt it is %100 worth it as $99.


Huh, I have never talked to someone who have actually owned the console.
Is it true that it is only Indie and Arcade games or is there major titles?

Gossip All of the console UI's look the same now. Do something different..


They did what they could to try and take the life tiles that Windows 8 and Xbox one has.
This doesn't look anything like Steam or PS4 though.

OUYA's goal or objective was to make something uniquebut this to me isn't unique or new.
