The latest system update is now available to certain members of the Xbox Insider Program, Microsoft have confirmed, with other members set to receive the update “in the coming weeks.”

A big focus of this update is getting people to the things they enjoy “as quickly as possible”, with an overhauled Guide and Home (which you can see in the image above) being the biggest steps taken to achieve that.
Instead of having to double tap the Xbox icon to bring up the Guide like before, a single tap will now open up an enhanced Guide which includes quick access to Games and Apps, Home and Store pages, as well as displaying all your favourite pins, recently used applications and controls for any background music being played.
The latest update also adds a new feature called Copilot, which will improve ease of access by allowing two controllers to act as one.
 
Not only could this feature be used to help guide new players through difficult games or for a different take on competitive or cooperative gaming, it will also allow players who need unique controller configurations, such as “hands apart, hand and chin, hand and foot” to play games that may have been otherwise inaccessible.
 
You can read up on the full list of updates here.
