Microsoft’s Medhi: Expect a redesigned, controller-friendly Xbox One UI

Xbox’s Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer Yusuf Mehdi has indicated that the Xbox One’s user interface (UI) will be redesigned in an effort to make it more controller-friendly. This news comes after Microsoft revealed they’ll begin to sell a Kinect-less Xbox One bundle from June.

“We do want to find ways to give you some of those shortcuts and make some of the things that we have with Kinect easier with the controller,” Mehdi to Engadget. “You can expect to see us do a bunch of things over the coming months to make the experience easier and easier, even if you don’t have a Kinect.”

Medhi indicated that the UI change will be implemented after E3.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
