Hello Xbox Insiders! Today we released a new Xbox update preview for the Omega Ring.
It is important to note that some updates made to these preview versions of the operating system include background improvements that ensure a high quality and stable build for Xbox consoles. We will continue to publish these release notes, even if the noticeable UI changes are minimal or hidden, so that you are aware when updates are available for your device.
Details can be found below!
System update details
- OS version: XB_FLT_2404ZN\25398.4051.240321-2000
- Available: 4:00 PM PT – March 26, 2024
- Mandatory: 4:00 PM PT – March 27, 2024
note: This update may not happen automatically until it is already mandatory. You can always find the latest update as soon as it is available by opening the guide > Profile & System > Settings > system > Update.

Additionally, a small subset of users may remain on their current GA build after registration until the next system update becomes mandatory for the public. Visit the Xbox Insider Program Frequently Asked Questions to learn more.
New features and experiences
We have exciting news! Omega users can expect something new in their Xbox update preview.
Capture and share
Users will now see a toast notification after uploading a new screenshot or game clip to OneDrive if they are running out of space.
Discord Voice – Soundboard audio
Xbox players who have joined Discord Voice can now hear soundboard audio from others in the channel or call. A mute button for soundboard audio can be found in the Discord voice options in the manual. Currently you cannot trigger soundboard audio from the console.
Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta)
Xbox Insiders can preview mouse and keyboard support when playing through cloud gaming on supported browsers (Edge and Chrome) and through the Xbox app on Windows PCs.
Currently supported titles and all known issues are listed below:
- Fourteen days
- ARK Survival Evolved
- Sea of Thieves
- Grounded
- Halo Infinite
- Atomic heart
- Known Issue: There are some difficulties when switching between gamepad (controller) and mouse and keyboard when streaming games
- Sniper Elite 5
- Deep Rock Galactic
- High in life
- Zombie Army 4 Dead War
- Gears tactics
- Buses
- Sinking 64
- Age of Empires 2
Additional consideration for Xbox Insiders:
- Some games display controller UI elements by default (e.g. “Press A to start”). Your interface will only adapt to mouse and keyboard input once the player has started using the mouse/keyboard to interact with the game (moving the cursor and/or pressing keys).
- In the browser:
- The game stream must be in full screen mode to work with mouse and keyboard. Players can hold down the ESC key at any time to exit full screen mode.
- The player must explicitly click on the game stream element for it to “capture your pointer”. Otherwise, your mouse input will not be sent to the game.
- Players can press ALT+F9 to stop using the mouse and keyboard for the game

known problems
Although known issues may have been listed in previous Xbox Insider release notes, they will not be ignored! However, Xbox engineers may need more time to find a solution. If you experience any of these issues, we encourage you to follow the instructions provided and submit feedback to us To report a problem.
Audio
- Some users have reported intermittent audio issues in the dashboard, games, and apps.
- Troubleshooting: If you experience any issues, please make sure your TV and all other devices have the latest firmware installed. If you are unsure, you may need to contact the manufacturer for help. You can also find more troubleshooting tips here: Fix audio problems on your Xbox console.
- Return message: If you continue to experience issues after applying the latest firmware and further troubleshooting, please submit feedback via Report a Problem if the issue occurs. Use the “Reproduce with Advanced Diagnostics” option, then select the “Console Experiences” and “Console Audio Issues” category.

- We are investigating reports of an issue where the console may not immediately connect to the network upon boot. If you experience this, be sure to report the issue using Report a Problem as soon as you are able.
- Workaround: Wait one to two minutes for the connection to be established. If your console still doesn’t connect, restart your Xbox using the Power Center or the instructions, then submit your feedback using Report a Problem.
