Xbox Insiders in the Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead channels may now download a new build that improves the speed with which your Xbox Series X|S searches for titles with available upgrades.
Xbox owners may already be aware that scanning for updates sometimes takes longer than expected, so this change to the Xbox OS should help if you've ever spent too much time gazing at the 'Updates' screen.
"Xbox Alpha and Alpha," remarked Xbox technical lead Eden Marie on Twitter. Insiders, today's release offers the first set of adjustments aimed at improving the speed with which my games and applications search for upgrades. Tiles should display sooner, and extra processing may occur later (particularly if you sort by size)."
Marie went on to say that when you have "very big volumes of installed stuff," the scanning procedure might still take a long time. As a result, she advises submitting bugs once the patches have been deployed so that the issue may be investigated further. We should expect further modifications in future versions, given that this is just the first batch of repairs.
You don't have to go through a registration procedure to become an Xbox Insider. All you have to do is download the Xbox Insider Hub app on your Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, or PC. Even better, you don't have to sign up for every preview; you can pick and choose which ones you want to see.
Please keep in mind that these features are still under beta testing, so there may be errors. There are five "rings" by which Insider are classified: Alpha Skip-Ahead, Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Omega. Some previews aren't available to all Insiders. More information is available in the official FAQ.
Filling up your console storage is all too simple thanks to Xbox Game Pass. Games are regularly removed from the subscription service, but we are generally compensated with a large number of new additions. Microsoft's first-party games are also constantly accessible, so you can play Halo Infinite, Sea of Thieves, Forza Horizon 5, and more whenever you choose.
If you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you may use Xbox Cloud Gaming to solve this storage issue while also eliminating the need for updates. Of course, that assumes your internet connection is capable, but if not, we recommend picking up a Seagate 1TB Storage Expansion Card.
