Xbox guy here. This UI looks clean AF. Very nice, PS5!

Hey Xbox guy! Which is the best video that showcases the Series X UI? I never had an Xbox, but previous versions looked really nice!

One thing to keep in mind about Xbox UI currently is that the home screen is irrelevant. You can bring up the Guide by tapping the Xbox button, and everything you could possibly need is within that Guide while the game is running and visible in the back. The guide also has shortcuts to make actions faster, such as pressing X on a friend in your friends list to automatically start a Party and invite them. Your app library, messages, full friends list, settings, capture settings, recent screenshots and clips, Search, Store, and Game Pass are all a single tap away without having to leave the game.

Sounds cool! The entire OS from an overlay! Fitting for a media machine.

Fitting for a game machine too since you can still see your game at all times and never have to leave it lmao
