It looks like Xbox Series X owners should be getting excited for big updates coming to the platform this year. In an official Xbox podcast, top developers give some insight into the various changes coming for players this year.
Toward the end of 2020, a new generation of Microsoft’s flagship console released to the public. The devices have taken the world by storm, with Xbox Series X/S stock shortages continuing in 2021. After launch, the team took some time off to absorb feedback from the community, and now it sounds like the group behind Xbox is preparing for some major updates.
Jason Ronald, the Director of Program Management at Microsoft, describes how there will be more announcements in the coming months. The reviews for Xbox Series X/S have been positive, and apparently it is just the beginning. Director of Programming Larry Hryb, also known as Major Nelson, mentions they cannot say too much at the moment. However, he does say Ronald will be back on the podcast sooner rather than later.
One of the main changes coming down the pipeline has to do with adding features to the Xbox Mobile app. Some of the improvements have to do with achievement tracking, broadcasting updates, and DVR quality enhancements. For console users, another noted update will be with the Quick Resume feature. Despite touting the mechanic as a benefit for Xbox Series X/S, some games had to have it disabled. Therefore, the team wants to focus on getting it functional for all titles to create a smooth experience for players.
Though specific details are scarce, it does seem like the Xbox team is preparing for a busy year by making changes to both peripheral and console features that should cover all the bases for those looking to get into the platform. Even in the middle of a pandemic, the new generation of Xbox is selling well, so there are plenty of users who will benefit from more fixes and additions.
With Halo Infinite seeing a delay until later this year, some may wonder what the Xbox team is up to. Features like Quick Resume and updates for the Xbox Mobile app pale in comparison to the platform’s biggest titles. Granted, with convention shows like E3 still planning to air later this year, it could only be a matter of time before fans hear more about games coming to the Xbox Series X. In any case, it is clear that the team wants players to know that updates are coming soon.
