The latest update to the Xbox dashboard has not only caught attention for its new features, but also for how it was carried out. After its arrival to the Xbox Insider program, we now know that this set of improvements was developed in a much shorter time than usual.

After Asha Sharma confirmed that the team took only two weeks to create these novelties, an Xbox engineer has provided more details about how this process was experienced from the inside.

An express development, unusual for Xbox

Engineer Eden Marie has explained that the team managed to advance at a very uncommon pace within the company. According to her own words, they have achieved doing an unusual amount of work in a very short time, something that is not usually common in this type of updates.

She has also made it clear that not all features can be developed with this speed, as many require longer processes, but she acknowledges that this case has been particularly striking. Additionally, Marie herself has pointed out that she currently feels more motivated and energetic working on these improvements, which reflects the new momentum that the team is experiencing.

A new era for Xbox updates

This update introduces features such as more customization options, changes to Quick Resume, and improvements to dashboard organization, directly responding to community requests. For now, these novelties are available in testing phase for Xbox Insider users, but will arrive to the rest of players soon.

Everything suggests that Xbox wants to accelerate the pace of improvements on the console, and this record-time development could be just the beginning of an era in which updates arrive faster and more directly to players.
