Xbox Series X First Update Released with More Dynamic Backgrounds and UI Changes



[ad_1]

Microsoft is beginning to roll out the November Update for the Xbox Series X, Series S, and Xbox One consoles today. The software update is the first update to the dashboard for Microsoft’s next-gen consoles and includes more dynamic backgrounds that are exclusive to Xbox Series X and Series S.

The update adds six new dynamic backgrounds, including some that are clear nods to older Xbox consoles. Each can be selected from the Xbox dashboard settings panel, and Microsoft says it is working on additional styles, colors, and designs for future console updates.

Along with updated dynamic backgrounds, Xbox Series X and S receive a new tag that lets you know when a game uses Auto HDR. You’ll see the label appear when you open the Xbox guide during a game, and it appears similar to how Quick Resume appears in the upper-right corner.

Microsoft has not mentioned whether performance or stability improvements have been added with the November update, or whether Quick Resume has seen improvements. Quick Resume has not worked properly with a wide range of titles since the Xbox Series X and Series S releases, and Microsoft blamed a bug it said it was working to fix.
