Xbox is making a rather nifty change that will give your Microsoft Rewards balance a prominent spot on the Xbox dashboard right next to your Gamerscore.As announced last week, Xbox will soon be bringing your Microsoft Rewards balance front and center on the Xbox dashboard. A new update, which is currently only available for Xbox Insiders in the Alpha-Skip Ahead and Alpha rings, now displays your Microsoft Rewards points total on the Xbox Home UI right alongside your Gamerscore. Microsoft Rewards balance gets prominent spot on Xbox Home UICredit: Tom WarrenAs shown above by The Verge’s Tom Warren (thanks, PureXbox), you can see the Rewards balance is now displayed in the top-left corner of the screen under your Gamertag and next to your Gamerscore. While it’s only a small change, it’s a handy quality-of-life update that saves you from having to go into the Microsoft Rewards Xbox app on console each time you want to view how many points you have. In the Insider update notes, Xbox says that some users “will see the balance as information cycles, while others will see it alongside their Gamerscore,” so it’s possible that it may look slightly different on your console. We’re not sure when this change will be rolling out to all users, but usually, changes like this don’t take too long to filter down through the other rings and out to everyone.What do you make of the change? Are you happy to see your Rewards balance take up a more prominent spot on the Xbox Home UI? Let us know down in the comments.
