Jumping back will take you to compact mode
In November, we introduced Compact Mode, a feature available through the Xbox app on PC that improves your gaming experience with a more intuitive interface on smaller screens, including Windows handhelds. We are pleased to announce that the Jump back in The Friends Panel feature and improvements are rolling out to all Xbox Insiders registered for the PC Gaming Preview starting today!
When we introduced Compact Mode, we focused on giving you more space to browse content by simplifying the sidebar. Now let’s go one step further Jump back in, Our latest feature that allows you to quickly access the games you’ve recently played on your Windows device in Compact Mode.
Jump back in displays the last nine games you have played through the app. Clicking on a game card will take you directly to the games hub where you can jump into the game. You can also right-click or press the menu button on your controller to jump straight into the game using the context menu.
Improvements to the friends panel
With Compact Mode, we’ve also simplified access to the Friends panel via controller navigation, with quick access directly from the sidebar and consistent with other panels such as Notifications. We look forward to your feedback as we continue to improve the friend-related experiences in the app.
Starting next week, a new survey will be available in the Xbox Insider Hub (click Open or Install) Here) for players who have signed up for the PC Gaming Preview to give us your feedback Jump back in
