If the hardware side of our consoles cannot be changed, the software part is constantly modified. For Xbox consoles, this will be the case again with a new update this November. This includes many elements, in addition to correcting some crashes, especially with games like NBA 2K22, FIFA 22 and Battlefield 2042. This update also gives more and more Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers the opportunity to enjoy the cloud on consoles as of today. It will also be possible to discover better accessibility labels in the Microsoft Store.
New color filters for Xbox Series
New advantage in terms of accessibility, the color filters are compatible with current and retro-compatible games. It is possible to change the tints of certain colors to better distinguish them according to your needs. This function is available under Settings => Input help => Color filter.
Improved audio management
Gone are the days when you had to manually mute your TV while plugging in headphones. A new setting mutes the sound from the speakers when a headset is connected, if necessary. This option is available in the new audio parameters management panel: Parameters => Audio and Detail Tests.
Controller update
The Xbox One controllers, Xbox Elite Series 2, and the adaptive controller will have the latest features:
- the Bluetooth low energy: This provides better compatibility with more devices as well as easier pairing. This allows you to remember a Bluetooth connection and Xbox connection and change them by double-clicking the pairing button (above the controller).
- Reduced latency, which shortens the response time between pressing a key and its effect in the game.
Future updates for the Xbox Mobile app
Microsoft teams want to make sharing easier. With a new function, you can create a link that redirects to one of your screenshots in order to share it more easily on the Internet. The most popular content is then highlighted in the app with a like and comment system. The Game Pass application on consoles will also be updated to be more manageable and offer the best choice based on everyone’s wishes.
This November update highlights accessibility and brings real solutions to some issues that gamers regularly report. It is currently available on your consoles via: Settings => System => Updates.
