Xbox rolls out filters to organize game libraries

Microsoft has started testing new filters in an Xbox Insider update to help players sort through cluttered game libraries. The changes aim to distinguish between purchased titles, shared games, and Game Pass subscriptions. Additional features include a revamped startup sequence and tiered Gamerscore badges.

The update began rolling out today to participants in the Xbox Insider program. Users can now filter their collections more effectively to identify playable content across different ownership types. Microsoft has not yet announced a timeline for wider availability to all Xbox users, though past updates have typically taken several months to reach the general public.
