A video of the Xbox One's dashboard layout was leaked to the public via YouTube in September and has since been taken down. The video is still available online by people who copied the original video and re-uploaded.
In the video, gamers got a sneak peek at the interface that looks very similar to Windows 8, according to Mirror.uk.
"The actual dashboard looks a lot different, there's pins, live TV and all that random stuff but it's all pretty much together," the user said in the video.
The game being showcased in the leak is a beta version of Ryse Son of Rome.
"Here's the Xbox One controller which is just proof that I'm actually holding it right now," the YouTube user said in the video. "The triggers stick out really nicely it's a lot more comfortable than the old Xbox and here's the actual console itself."
"Here's the Ryse beta that I was playing, it's a pretty fun game," he said of the game.
The Xbox One will be able to run Microsoft's Windows 8 and its apps on the console after months of speculation.
Initially Microsoft said in the unveiling that the Xbox One will run three operating systems, Xbox OS, Windows, and another app-switching software, but they never mentioned which version of Windows and how it would work, reported Gadgets.ndtv.com.
"Consider the game officially changed. With all your favorite Windows 8 apps able to be run on and synced to your Xbox One, now your phone, desktop, tablet and TV can all give you a unified web and entertainment experience," wrote computer makers Dell on their website.
Gadgets speculates that because Windows 8 is mostly a touch and keyboard operating system that there may be additional problems with the conversion to the Xbox One. However, the Kinect could come into to play or even the SmartGlass app that allows gamers with a smart phone to access the console.
It is important to note this information has only been confirmed by Dell, with no official word coming from Microsoft yet.
The Xbox One is set for a Nov. 22 release in the U.S. and retail for $499.99.
