According to a new report, the Xbox Series X will not have a new dashboard, but the same one as the Xbox One. There will be new features added, but the UI and design will be an exact replication. The only difference will be on the technical side. For example, using it will be improved with improvements to speed.
That said, the Xbox Series X dashboard won't be the Xbox One dashboard as it is now. The report continues by alleging that the current Xbox One dashboard will be improved and tweaked in the coming months. Further, there will be a new Store app.
If any of this sounds familiar, it's because it's all been echoed in previous rumors and reports. However, this new source -- Tom Warren, a senior editor at The Verge -- is the most reliable source to report this information so far.
"I can confirm the Xbox Series X dashboard will be the same as the Xbox One," said Warren on Twitter. "Microsoft is adding some additional stuff in for the console features, but the UI and dash will be the same. Speed and perf will also be improved. I think it's a good thing that the Xbox dashboard is aligned on Xbox One and Xbox Series X. There will be improvements in the coming months, and there's a new Store app on the way. Things have been gradually improving on the dash, and will continue to do so"
It's not divulged in the report, but the reason behind this is likely Microsoft's desire to have continuity across the "Xbox family of consoles." This is something that's very important to Xbox boss Phil Spencer and his team. That said, many aren't happy about the news.
