May 13 marks the Insider rollout of three Xbox Series X|S updates: a new start-up animation and sound, tiered Gamerscore badges, and Games & Apps filters that show what users can actually play.
The boot-up refresh puts Xbox’s new logo front and center, extending a teaser from last week into a broader interface update that Microsoft says will reach all Series X|S players in coming weeks.
Gamerscore badges scale from 1,000 to 10 million points and appear on profiles and in the Guide, giving players a visible marker of lifetime achievement milestones.
The new library filters separate owned games from shared titles and flag installed games users no longer have access to, aiming to make cross-device and multi-console libraries easier to navigate.
