Currently only accessible to Insiders, a very practical new feature is being tested on Xbox Series. This will soon be accessible to the public.
To complete a firmware update for the Xbox Series in April, they see their connectivity improved. Microsoft is currently allowing Insiders to test a feature focused on Cloud Gaming and Wi-Fi networks. A way like any other to prepare the ground for, for example, a potential portable Xbox console?
Xbox Series expands its network
After an update in April focused in particular on Discord, security and access to the hub on the PC version (under Windows 10 or 11) of the Xbox application, the Xbox Series will be entitled to a new functionality to improve its functionality. connectivity. This is currently only accessible to members of the Xbox Insiders program. However, its deployment to the public should not take long. However, some users outside the program have indicated that they can already benefit from this new feature.
Microsoft is in any case testing the possibility on its new generation consoles and any Xbox Cloud Gaming compatible device, such as a SmartTV or a browser, to manage cloud saves on the fly. This also comes with easier management of different nearby Wi-Fi networks. On paper, such a possibility does not seem very practical for a home console. But this could raise the possibility of exploring the market for portable consoles for Xbox.
Insistent rumors suggest that Microsoft is considering not only releasing an Xbox Series 2, but also a sort of competitor to the Steam Deck. It would in fact not be a question of a console focused on Cloud Gaming like the Logitech G Cloud, but of a native device. In such a scenario, the ability to save different Wi-Fi networks and change them on the fly would make sense.
