The Xbox app on PC also received an update. To start with, there's a new channel dedicated to the upcoming game Senua's Saga: Hellblade II by Ninja Theory. Moreover, Microsoft began rolling out some new Compact Mode features, including Jump back in and Friends, with a subset of players and with all Xbox Insiders.
