★★★★☆ Connor · 11 Dec 2023It would be cool if there was an option in the tab to go to the Xbox website.

★★★☆☆ andrew · 5 Dec 2023Good start page but why are there ads? I know this because I turned on my adblocker and it actually detected ads inside the new tab page. Thats just stupid tbh I still use it anyway. (also if you want the start page to load faster just turn off quick links)

★☆☆☆☆ Thomas · 1 Aug 2023It does what it says it will do. The homepage looks nice and I can FINALLY get a dedicated stream of official Xbox news (Xbox Wire). Neither the console or xbox app for mobile gives me this, and the bing app would rather bloat my screen with a bunch of clickbait articles from random sites. Edit: Lowering the review because I LOVE this extension so much, but Microsoft themselves seem to hate it as they push for the MSN gaming start (which has no Xbox wire integration and is just bloat for ads). Edge turns it off randomly or just makes it not work. SO much potential with XCloud and new first pa

★★★★☆ Sylus · 3 Nov 2022Great but it would be much better if it came with quick access.

★☆☆☆☆ Chris · 4 Jun 2022I'm guessing no one on here can play their Xbox on their tablet/PC after doing the unnecessary Windows 11 updated. It's ridiculous. Not only is it effecting the Xbox/PC game play, the keyboard for my Samsung Galaxy Book 2 stopped work after the updated. Think it might be time to leave Microsoft products in the past...

★★★★★ Brandon · 16 Feb 2022A fun extension overall, however, some of the images on the Forza Horizon 4 theme sometimes fail to load and instead display a camera with a 🚫 (no symbol) over it. Update 2/15/22: The broken image bug seems to have been fixed!

★★★★☆ matt · 5 Feb 2022It's really cool (way better than the default new tab page), but there is so much untapped potential with this add-on. There should be lists of titles that have just been added to Game Pass (with installation buttons) or are coming soon/leaving. Give us direct links to Xcloud streaming. Let us track/turn in our Game Pass quests. Let us follow certain releases so we get news about them front & center. Show recent gameplay stats, links to guides, there is a ton that could added for Xbox gamers, especially on PC where MS is finally picking up steam (see what I did there?) in terms of adoption of

their store/service. Probably won't happen as I doubt browser extensions are a priority but adding these features would make it a must-have for PC Game Pass subscribers (and would probably help increase usage of Edge. Four stars for being good at what it is, you'll earn the coveted five with more features. I don't know why I put so much thought into this. -
★★★☆☆ KINGESKONG · 8 Jan 2022I like it but I don't like how when I just want to get on a new tab, I have to turn it off everything else is great I just wish that all you have to is to click the icon.

How these figures are measured
Change in installs, as observed between the two crawls named in "measured over", not scaled to the window: this store refreshes its install counts only occasionally, so one refresh lands in every window at once and these figures usually read 0 in between - the weekly change in ratings under Rating above is the better signal here. A window needs a full period of history before it reports anything.
