Microsoft has released a new update forXboxconsoles that should be available for users to download right now if they haven’t already. Like its competitors,Microsoft regularly issues updates for its consolesto address issues, add new features, and more.
Sometimes the Xbox console updates are rather significant,changing up the dashboardor implementing a new quality of life feature. Other times, the updates aren’t all that big of a deal, to the point where most gamers may not even notice any differences. Unfortunately for those hoping for some game-changing Xbox console update, the latest update for Microsoft’s family of gaming consoles falls in the latter camp.

The main takeaway from the newXboxconsole update is that it provides “general stability and performance improvements.” The rest of the patch notes mention some known issues currently impacting Xbox consoles. Apparently, there have been some “intermittent audio issues” in the dashboard when launching games or apps, which Microsoft encourages players report. A suggested workaround is simply rebooting the console. Another issue mentioned by Xbox is consoles not displaying at the right resolution when they’re first turned on. Again, players are asked to report the problem if they run into it. The workaround consists of restarting the console through the Power menu.
Not all the new features introduced to the Xbox ecosystem are necessarily popular, however. For instance, Microsoft recently announced plans toallow users to record in-game voice chatand report it for moderation purposes. While there are those who feel that this is a good way to combat toxicity in online games, others are never happy about the idea of a company recording voice chat. Regardless, this Xbox voice chat feature will be available to Xbox Insiders first before eventually rolling out to everyone else as part of a system update.
While they wait for more information on when they can expect the voice chat recording feature,Xbox gamerscan download the July 2023 system update now and enjoy its “general stability and performance improvements.”
