Update: The ability to edit the home screen and move all games at one time is now available to Xbox Alpha Insiders. Here are the patch notes.


It looks like the ability to customize your home screen and copy all games to an external hard drive will hit Xbox One soon. Xbox Dynasty spotted the upcoming feature on the Xbox Insider Hub. The listing reads:

• Copy all games & apps: With the latest update, it will be easier to copy games back and forth. Once you have copied your entire game collection to the external hard disk, you can enjoy the “Copy / move all” selection.

• Edit your start screen: The look and feel of the new dashboard has been updated to set speed. In addition, individual customization options are brought into focus. With the latest update, you can easily change your home screen (Home) and customize it to suit your needs. Friends or favorite games can also be placed on the home screen. The box is then placed on the start screen and this can be moved like the pins.

This is great news that many Xbox One owners have been waiting months to hear. While being able to copy all of your games and applications at once is a neat feature, I’m looking forward to the ability to edit your start screen. I definitely want to modify a lot of panels and add certain contacts I communicate with often. What are you looking forward to the most? Let us know.
