Our dear Xboxes have just been updated, and several new features as striking as they are practical are on the program. Accessibility is enhanced, and some long-awaited features are finally arriving.
This update even goes so far as to change a lot of things for console generations in general.
Looking towards the Cloud
We already talked about it in a previous article, but remember that Xbox Cloud Gaming is now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Once the 676MB system update has been downloaded, Game Pass Ultimate subscribers have access to a list of playable titles via the Cloud. Fallout 76, Hades, Control, Sea of ​​Thieves or even Psychonauts 2 are among the lucky ones. A small cloud-shaped logo is attached to compatible games. In addition, thanks to this feature, it is now possible to test a Game Pass title while downloading it.
But that's not all, since the November update makes additional efforts in terms of accessibility. New and improved color filters are coming to Xbox Series X|S. Useful for gamers with color blindness, these filters work on recent and backward compatible games. They are used in particular to better distinguish colors on any type of content (movies, menus, applications, games, etc.). Labels are also arriving on Microsoft Store games to indicate the accessibility options available within the software concerned.
A welcome audio change
By going to the audio settings of your favorite console, you finally have the option to automatically mute the sound from the speakers when a headset is plugged in. In addition, all the parameters for adjusting the volume and the audio outputs have been reorganized for better ergonomics.
Among the latest news, let's point out an update for the Xbox One, Elite Series 2 and adaptive controllers which receive more robust Bluetooth connectivity (via Bluetooth Low Energy) and reduced latency. Finally, via the Xbox mobile application, the user will in the near future be able to generate links in order to share his captures more quickly on the Internet. The most popular content will be highlighted on the Xbox app.
The update is therefore available immediately!
