Hey Xbox Insiders! We have a new Xbox One update preview coming to the Beta and Delta ring. It’s important we note that some updates made in these preview OS builds include background improvements that ensure a quality and stable build for Xbox One.
We continue to post these release notes, even when the noticeable changes to the UI are minimal, so you’re aware when updates are coming to your device. Details can be found below!
System Update Details:
- OS version released: RS_XBOX_RELEASE_201019041.4835.200912-0000
- Available: 2 p.m. PT – September 15, 2020
- Mandatory: 3 a.m. PT – September 16, 2020
New Features and Experiences
We have exciting news! Beta and Delta users can expect something new coming to their Xbox One update preview.
Private Media Sharing
Sharing game clips and screenshots is a core component of the Social experience on Xbox and you’ll learn more about how we’re expanding this functionality with the new Share button on Xbox Series X Wireless Controllers. But we also want to keep user privacy at the center of our experience. When uploading game clips and screenshots to Xbox Live by default your media will now be private and only visible by you until manually shared to a message, club, activity feed, or social network.
With this change, users will notice the following on their console:
- The Captures tab on the Profile screen has been removed
- Activity Feeds will now only include content that has been manually shared
- The setting to automatically share game clips and screenshots has been removed
- All content uploaded to Xbox Live will be private by default until it has been shared
Fixes Implemented
Thanks to the hard work of Xbox engineers, we are happy to announce the following fixes have been implemented for this build:
Guide
- The Guide should work normally if offline or no account is logged in.
- Fixed an issue where “Recent Captures” would not load any content.
Home
- Fixed an issue where users in the UK could not add the Entertainment content block to their dashboard.
Store
- Fixed an issue where adult accounts would see content being restricted when browsing the Store.
System
