Enhanced Viewing with Variable Refresh Rate

VRR optimizes the display’s refresh rate to match the game’s frame rate, providing a smoother visual experience. Now, users have more control over when VRR is active. You can set it to be always on, only during gaming, or turn it off completely, depending on your preference and the content you are viewing.

This update simplifies how you manage and use your rewards, enhancing the overall user experience on the platform.

Joining Friends’ Games Just Got Simpler

Ever wanted to join a game session but weren’t sure if there was space? Xbox has introduced a new feature that allows you to send a request to join a friend’s game directly from their profile. This addition makes connecting with friends for gaming sessions more convenient, fostering a more connected and interactive community.

Supporting a Safer Gaming Environment

Xbox is committed to maintaining a safe gaming environment. The new voice reporting feature enables players to report inappropriate in-game voice communications. By capturing a 60-second clip of the incident, players can help the Xbox Safety Team address and manage community interactions. This tool is a significant step towards ensuring a respectful and enjoyable gaming experience for all.

Receive alerts directly through the Xbox interface when games on your wish list are released or become available on Game Pass. This feature ensures you never miss out on purchasing or playing a game you’ve been eagerly waiting for.
