Xbox consoles will automatically lower the download speed when a game is open to enable uninterrupted online functions. Marie says that if this option is selected, players will suspend the game currently running to increase the download speed on the console. The best thing about it is that you will not lose your place – the game can still be resumed, or it can be resumed quickly on Xbox Series X and S.
Hi Xbox Insiders! Have you noticed that these changes are starting now? If you get suspended in the queue, you can download at full speed while making sure your game keeps resuming (or can be resumed quickly in Series X | S). New banners in the complete library will take you to more useful categories! pic.twitter.com/L49winRpM0

The features of the Insider app are usually fully released a few weeks after testing, so it should not take too long before we see it roll out to all users. Another new feature that Insiders has available is a set of banners that appear on the Game Pass library page, pointing players in the direction of games that are leaving soon, or those that have been recently added. Useful if you feel overwhelmed to look at the growing library of games on Game Pass.

Here’s our review of the Xbox Wireless Headset, which we scored an 8, and pointed out that it delivers a ’rounded sound setup’ for consoles.
