This is just one of a number of changes the new CEO has made since taking over earlier this year.
One big change she has made is lowering the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to $22.99 a month and PC Game Pass to $13.99 a month. In order to justify the lower price, starting this year future Call of Duty titles will no longer join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass at launch and will instead be added the following holiday.
Xbox achievements are getting a refresh with a new look and feel, ability to hide games from your Achievement history on your profile, and games with 100% of achievements unlocks will be highlighted in the achievements list.
The latest update for Xbox lets you pin more Groups to Home, customize colors, disable Quick Resume Settings on a per-game basis, as well as adding a Play History tab, and more.
Xbox will also be "winding down Copilot on mobile and will stop development of Copilot on console."
