Tomorrow we will have a lot to talk about after the Xbox broadcast at Tokyo Game Show 2024, in which it seems that they are heating up the atmosphere a lot with very important announcements. But in the meantime, we must put our feet on the ground and look at what is in front of us, because the Xbox ecosystem is not alone and its team does not stop throwing improvements at us month after month.
In this case, we see some very interesting ones that we will detail immediately, since the Xbox September update, as you know, has long affected the entire ecosystem, whether on consoles, PC, mobile phones or even peripherals. Let’s see what they bring us this time:

This is a very curious feature, because it is the most normal thing in the world, arriving after a long day, trying to relax playing your favorite game and directly skipping a mandatory update to start it. Well, it seems that Xbox wants to get ahead of this inconvenience by managing these downloads before they become effective. That is to say, We can pre-download the update, play peacefully and when it becomes effective, that is, the game needs it, we just have to apply it automatically.
The idea is great, and you just have to go to our updates section in My games and apps to see what we have available. Of course, it seems that this feature will only be applicable to games that support it, for now Sea of Thieves and Minecraft, but many will join this feature soon.
For Xbox consoles, we will also have the ability to add to our wishlist the games we want to be notified about when they enter Free-Play-Daysto be able to test them. It is also a very interesting option if we want to be notified that the game we wanted to see before buying it is free this weekend.
Xbox Game Bar Compact Mode on PC is now available to everyone
Microsoft announced it last month for testing on Xbox Insider and we already have it here. It’s a remodel of the Xbox Game Bar, which can now be managed much better on smaller screens and can even be easily controlled with the controller, offering a console-like experience and moving with the LB and RB across it. Out of curiosity, They added the ability to close the game you are in directly from the Game Ba
In another order of things, which we will detail later, The Xbox mobile app will be getting a major update very soon, integrating content from the Xbox Game Pass app.. This update will start rolling out this week for those using the beta, so the Xbox Game Pass app where we might see rewards, new games, etc. will stop updating in November.
