Windows 8 970 Published by

WPCentral posted a story that Xbox Video on Windows 8.1 received a major update today



If the new redesign for Xbox Video looks oddly familiar, that is because it borrows the same layout as Xbox Music for Windows 8.1 from back in August 2013. Design parity looks to be finally on the table for the Xbox Video and Music teams, which is long overdue.

The UI puts the user's collection, video store, and TV store all to the left hand side with a convenient search bar. To the right is the main viewing area for each of those sections, which drill down further for more details on the film, video, or TV show, including pricing, HD / SD options, and casting. Tapping the hamburger button on the left hand side shrinks down the menu system to give a larger full-screen experience, ideal for touch devices.
