What’s your opinion on the overall design consistency across Xbox Game Pass titles?

Xbox Game Pass offers such a diverse library, yet I’ve noticed design touchpoints like shared menu overlays, achievement notifications, and cloud‑save icons that unify the experience. How do you feel about this consistency? Does it help you navigate between games seamlessly, or does it homogenize the unique identity each title should have? Are there standout cases where a developer broke from the shell‑UI to deliver something unexpected - perhaps a custom pause menu that still integrates Game Pass services elegantly?

I think the design consistency across Xbox Game Pass titles is generally good, creating a cohesive experience. While some games have unique styles, they still feel connected through quality visuals and user interface, making it easier to transition between different titles.

I've noticed a striking contrast between first-party and third-party titles on Game Pass. Microsoft's in-house games maintain consistent UI patterns and accessibility features, which I appreciate. However, the third-party library feels disjointed by comparison, making the overall Game Pass experience somewhat uneven when switching between games.
