Xbox Ideas

What is an Idea Drive?

An Idea Drive is a structured method for collecting ideas and suggestions from our most passionate fans across Windows and Xbox console. Here's how it works: We propose a specific category or family of features, and you tell us what you would do to make that experience better. What would you add? What would you remove? What would you change? Comments in that Idea Drive thread should remain on topic and relevant to that Idea Drive's category or feature. From there, it's up to you! Propose your ideas as comments in that topic's Idea Drive thread, engage with and reply to other ideas in the post, and be sure to upvote your favorites!

What's the difference between an Idea Drive and Xbox Requests?

The weekly Xbox Requests threads are open to any ideas across all Xbox products, services, and features. This can include PC and Windows gaming, Xbox One gaming, Xbox Live features, console features, accessories, etc., You name it: If you want it, or want to test it, Xbox Requests is the best place to write it down. You can find a list of Xbox Requests Recaps here.

Idea Drives, like those listed below, are campaigns with specific features or categories in mind. Xbox feature teams will set the topic for an Idea Drive and will closely monitor the drive for top feedback related to that area. You are likely to see the engineers, PMs, and designers within that feature area interact with you and ask you questions based off of your Idea Drive submissions, so that they can go and do the work that is most important to you.

While a top Idea Drive post or comment is not a promise to deliver something specific, it is used as a way for us to listen to what you care about most in order to deliver the best possible experience we can. In a similar way, the weekly Feature Friday threads offer insights about what you want to see us dig into next!

Remember:

  • Stay on topic! If you have suggestions that don't fit an open Idea Drive, make sure to post it to the current Xbox Requests thread

  • Look to see if your idea is already posted. If it is, upvote it and add your own reply to discuss and help refine it

  • Be specific. Actionable ideas often make the best ideas. Be clear and concise in your description, and help others develop their suggestions

  • Check back often. Idea Drives are not open permanently, and will close as feature teams begin development. Come back to upvote new ideas
