Microsoft Adds 4 Xbox Series X/S Features in Alpha Test

6 articles · Updated · ComicBook.com · May 30

Four new Xbox Series X/S features have entered testing for Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead users, with a wider rollout expected later if no issues emerge.
One addition places a service-issue indicator in the top-right corner during confirmed Xbox outages, linking users directly to the status page.
Microsoft also expanded personalization and device tools: players can enter a hex color code or match UI colors to their gamerpic, while the Accessories app now shows the selected controller.
Home navigation now offers quicker access to update release notes, and Microsoft says those notes will be more detailed going forward.
The update is largely a quality-of-life release rather than a major platform overhaul, but it signals continued incremental refinement of the Xbox interface.

After these quick enhancements, what major user-requested features will Xbox fast-track next?
