Dashboard

After a total overhaul of the look-and-feel and after perfecting a more stream-lined interface, you now get exactly what you want right from the get go.

Friends List: Now you can immediately see who’s online and what game their playing

Voice Chat: making it easier to chew the fat or scream at your friends right from the dashboard or during a game.

Scoreboards: Easy access to yours and your friends rankings

Voice Chat

You can now talk with up to 16 Friends, and send and receive game invites all from the new Xbox Live Dashboard - here’s how:

From the main Xbox Dashboard screen, select Xbox Live and sign in with your Xbox Live account.

Select Friends from the new Xbox Live Now Dashboard.

Select a Friend, and then select Invite to Chat. Or, select Add Friend to make new Friends!

And you don’t even need the same games to chat with your buddies. So reach out and start talking smack. 

By this holiday there’ll be over 50 Xbox Live titles and over 100 new downloads (in supported games). Check out the features here
