Redesigns#
2 months before the release of the Xbox Series consoles on September 2020, the Fluent dashboard received a redesign. Several smaller changes have been added to the redesign, such as a Search button on the top right added in 2022. Additionally, the OS was updated to be based on Windows 11 in 2021.
The dashboard would receive yet another redesign in 2023, adding shortcut buttons on top, making the game list smaller and adding 2 more spaces for games and apps, and then again in 2025 to add a game history tab, replacing one of the spaces for games.
