Xbox Series X / S in Retail

The platform development boss said his team took a broad breather after the launch of Xbox Series X and S last November, and that he saw it as an opportunity to “lean back and just listen and listen to the community” how people use the consoles, what they are excited about, areas we can improve. ”

“Now that the team is back, we’re starting to announce a series of updates,” he said.

“One area we really focused on was during the launch. We had to quickly resume, deactivate some titles in the start window,” he explained. ‘The team worked very hard to re-enable the titles so that people get the amazing, fast-paced resume experience on all the titles people play.

‘In other areas, as we have seen, reports on things like decoupling the controller are an example. This is another area in which the team has really invested to make sure you only get the best class experience on the Xbox Series X and Series S. ”

Ronald has revealed that some areas focused on the Xbox platform focus are missing features in the Xbox app, giving the X and S series of users more control over Quick Resume.

‘So we’ll be updating the Xbox mobile app in the coming months to add things like Performance. And then other areas that we really focus on. While thinking about the console experiences, we listened to the feedback on improvements in broadcasting as an example, ”he said.

Another thing is the sharing experience and the quality of things like game DVR. And then I mentioned earlier the fact that a quick resume for even more titles since the launch can be made possible. We also saw that the feedback on people wants more understanding of how fast resumes work and more control over the experience.

“These are all aspects that are very important to us, because we are looking at future updates over the coming months and you will soon be able to start seeing some of these experiences in the Insider rings.”
