Starting today, XBOX Insiders can try out new XBOX console updates designed to make it easier to capture and share memorable gameplay moments, track your progress, and manage the games and content you care about most. From new ways to include chat audio in game captures, to enhanced achievement sorting, greater control over cloud saves, and expanded wishlist capacity, these updates are all about giving you more flexibility, convenience, and ways to get the most out of XBOX. Some features will be available first to Alpha Skip-Ahead members, with others rolling out more broadly to XBOX Insiders and players over time.
Include Chat In Your Game Captures
Some of the best gaming moments happen when you’re playing and talking with friends, and we’ve heard from players who wanted more ways to capture them. Starting today, XBOX Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring can choose to include chat audio in their game captures.
When you’re in a party, you can decide whether party chat is included in your recordings. Each player controls whether their voice can be captured, so voice audio is only included when players opt in.
Not in a party? You can also choose to include game chat audio in your captures.
New Ways to View Your Achievement History
Finding exactly what you’re looking for in your achievement history is getting easier for XBOX Insiders in Alpha Skip-Ahead. Whether you’re chasing 100% completion, tracking your next Gamerscore milestone, or revisiting old favorites.
In addition to the default ‘last played’ view, you can now sort games by name, completion percentage, Gamerscore earned, or number of Achievements unlocked. Every option can be sorted in ascending or descending order, giving you more flexibility to explore your achievements the way you want.
More Control Over Your Cloud Saves
Already available for XBOX Insiders and rolling out to more players next week, you can now restore previously synced cloud saves directly from your XBOX console in supported games, starting with Forza Horizon 6.
If you need to recover a previous version of your save, you can browse available cloud save versions and restore an earlier save directly from your console experience.
This feature is currently available for Forza Horizon 6 via Manage game & add-ons > Saved data > Restore saved data, with support for additional titles coming in future updates.
Add More Games To Your Wishlist
Your wishlist just got bigger.
Now available to all XBOX players, you can add up to 1,000 games to your wishlist, making it easier to keep track of the titles you want to play, follow, and pick up later.
Whether you’re building a backlog, keeping an eye on future launches, or waiting for the right time to jump in, you’ll now have plenty of room to organize the games you don’t want to miss.
