Did Microsoft just tease a new Xbox UI?
微软刚刚是在预告全新的 Xbox 用户界面吗？
Microsoft is working on a more consistent Xbox UI across consoles, PC, and cloud gaming. 微软正在致力于在主机、PC 和云游戏平台之间打造一套更加统一的 Xbox 用户界面。
Microsoft showed off a “consistent” Xbox UI across handhelds, consoles, and cloud gaming during its Xbox keynote at the Game Developers Conference in March. At the time it was difficult to see if there was anything new about the UI from the videos and photos captured during the event, but Microsoft has now given us a closer look at it thanks to a new video of the keynote that was published earlier today. 在今年 3 月的游戏开发者大会（GDC）的 Xbox 主题演讲中，微软展示了一套跨掌机、主机和云游戏的“统一”用户界面。当时，从活动现场拍摄的视频和照片中很难看出该界面有何新意，但多亏了今天早些时候发布的演讲视频，微软现在让我们得以更近距离地观察它。
Jason Ronald, VP of next generation at Xbox, showed off the UI while mentioning that players had been noticing “a lot of fragmentation within the experience” across devices, and an overall lack of consistency. “What the team has been doing behind the scenes is doing a lot of work to deliver a consistent experience, so it feels very familiar and very distinctly Xbox no matter where you’re choosing to play,” says Ronald. Xbox 下一代平台副总裁 Jason Ronald 在展示该界面时提到，玩家们一直注意到跨设备体验存在“大量的碎片化”，且整体缺乏一致性。Ronald 表示：“团队在幕后做了大量工作，旨在提供一致的体验，这样无论你选择在哪里游玩，都会感到非常熟悉，且具有鲜明的 Xbox 特色。”
At first glance the UI, pictured above, doesn’t look wildly different to what exists today, but there are some subtle differences across different devices. The Xbox console homescreen is slightly different, with the user profile in the top right and three ad slots along the bottom instead of the usual four. The same interface can be found on the handheld in the image, but the PC app on the right-hand side looks a lot more like the new Xbox Cloud Gaming interface. 乍看之下，上图所示的界面与现有的版本并没有太大区别，但在不同设备上存在一些细微差异。Xbox 主机的主屏幕略有不同，用户资料位于右上角，底部有三个广告位，而不是通常的四个。图片中的掌机采用了相同的界面，但右侧的 PC 应用程序看起来更像是全新的 Xbox 云游戏界面。
When Microsoft first started testing the new Xbox Cloud Gaming UI, I wrote that it was more console-like than ever before, thanks to a variety of new animations, a new library section, and a rounded design. Microsoft’s slide hints that this same interface could be coming to the Xbox PC app. Ronald says the UI won’t be identical across all Xbox devices though, “because we think about things like screen size, or things like input modalities.” 当微软首次开始测试新的 Xbox 云游戏界面时，我曾写道，得益于各种新的动画、新的库部分以及圆角设计，它比以往任何时候都更像主机界面。微软的演示幻灯片暗示，同样的界面可能会出现在 Xbox PC 应用程序中。不过，Ronald 表示，所有 Xbox 设备上的界面不会完全相同，“因为我们需要考虑屏幕尺寸或输入方式等因素。”
Later in the Xbox game dev update video, Microsoft also shows off what looks like a new Xbox store on Windows. I asked Microsoft about this new Xbox UI and the store changes, but the company declined to comment. 在 Xbox 游戏开发更新视频的后半部分，微软还展示了一个看起来像是 Windows 上全新的 Xbox 商店。我向微软询问了关于这个新 Xbox 界面和商店变动的情况，但该公司拒绝置评。
In the mean time, if you’re interested in Ronald’s full GDC keynote then I’d recommend watching it, below. Microsoft’s whole Xbox game dev update video is nearly 90 minutes long, but the embed below will start at Ronald’s keynote. 与此同时，如果你对 Ronald 的完整 GDC 主题演讲感兴趣，我建议观看下方的视频。微软完整的 Xbox 游戏开发更新视频时长近 90 分钟，但下方嵌入的视频将直接从 Ronald 的演讲部分开始播放。
Update, May 7th: Article updated to mention Microsoft declined to comment on this Xbox UI. 更新，5 月 7 日：文章已更新，补充了微软拒绝就此 Xbox 用户界面置评的内容。
