Xbox App Preview for Windows gets a new ‘Jump Back In’ section for Compact Mode

Published on

Microsoft is rolling out a new update for Xbox Insiders on PC. The Xbox App Preview received a new feature for Compact Mode, first introduced in late 2023. Compact Mode provides a simpler and more intuitive user interface, especially on smaller devices, such as the ASUS ROG Ally or similar Windows handhelds. Compact mode now gets additional improvements, making it easier to launch recent games and access your friends list.

With the updated compact mode, customers can have easier access to recently played games. According to a post on Xbox Wire, the “Jump Back In” section now includes up to 9 recent titles:

Jump back will show the last nine games you played from the app. When you click on any game card, you will go directly to its game hub, where you can jump into the game. You can also right-click or press the menu button on your controller to start the game directly from the context menu.

In addition to easy access to the latest games, the updated compact mode includes improvements to the friends panel, especially when navigating the app with a controller:

With a compact mode, we’ve made it easy to access the members panel through controller navigation, with quick access directly from the sidebar, and in line with other panels like notifications. We look forward to hearing your feedback as we continue to improve member-related experiences in the app.

Microsoft wants to know what Xbox Insiders on PC think about the latest improvements to Compact Mode, so if you’re among them, look out for a new poll on the Xbox Insider Hub next week. Alternatively, you can send your thoughts, ideas and complaints directly through the Xbox Insider Hub program.
