The Insider preview also adds a library view for digital licences claimed from physical discs.

Microsoft opened the features to its Alpha Skip-Ahead group on November 12. Testers can save favourite dynamic backgrounds and set them to shuffle at sign-in or on an hourly, daily or weekly schedule. A separate setting moves the Guide to the right side of the screen. The library can also group games whose digital

licences came from discs. Players can keep those games with other purchases or hide the badge that identifies the licence. Microsoft says more Insiders and players will get access over time. Official source. Image source ยท Microsoft / Xbox Wire.
