Almost every month, Microsoft intends to update its entire Xbox ecosystem, which has long ceased to be only consoles to develop through the applications available for Windows and mobile devices. Today we have another new update to let you know, the one corresponding to October, which will start to be available from today for all our devices.
This month, we can especially highlight the possibility of change the TV volume from the console itselfspecifically from the Xbox Series X | S, because from Xbox thread they have not indicated that this is an available feature for Xbox One at this time. All can be done thanks to the CEC function of the HDMI which allows to control the TV from the console. To use this function we will only have to go to the Audio & Music section in the same Guidewhere we will see a button to change the volume of the TV.
No need to put the TV remote control nearby…
A very complete October update
Another of the novelties to highlight, we already told you some time ago, when it entered the test on Xbox Insider. It seems that it is ready for the general public and although it is not serious, it will solve the possible scares when turning on the console, because now we can disable xbox startup sound when activating it. Yes, the “chaaaaaaaaaaan”. To do this we will have to access Settings -> General -> Volume and audio output -> Additional options and select “Mute startup sounds”.
Some interesting details like a new configuration wizard to configure our Xbox as at home, ideal for those who share the account with the family and wish to create another one, since it allows you to play digital games belonging to this account offline. Also, in the current order of energy crisis, a more personalized management of power modeswhich we can now rename.
And we end with two extremely interesting details, from the first, we also told you yesterday, well in the Xbox mobile and tablet app, you can now choose the duration of your video clips. In other words, if you save a clip to your console and it’s uploaded to the Xbox Live cloud, you can pull it into the app to share, as it’s always been done, but you can also ” cut” the video to share only the part you want. Interested on the go. It works for both iOS and Android.
The second detail is simply that from today new firmware updates are available for all Xbox controllers, which you know can be run directly from the console. Except for the old Xbox Ones without Bluetooth, the others can be upgraded, the Elite and Elite 2, the Xbox Series and even the Xbox Adaptive Controller. In principle, this will fix a few bugs detected in its operation, nothing critical. To take advantage of this news has been said.
