By regularly offering new updates for the firmware of its Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, Microsoft often improves user experience for gamers. It also involves more minor innovations, such as those brought by the September 2022 patchwhich will not date.
It brings 2 small features: noise reduction for group chat Xboxand the possibility of start a game on a game we own when a friend shares a screenshot of it with us.
The Xbox team is excited to continue to come up with new ways to improve the experience of our Xbox ecosystem, always putting you at the center of decisions, refining it and bringing you new features based on your feedback. This month’s system update lets you enjoy even more ways to connect and play with your friends and the rest of the community thanks to noise reduction for party chat on Xbox Series X|S and the ability to launch a game directly from screenshots and videos shared by your friends on mobile and PC.
Noise Reduction for Xbox Party Chat
If you’re using party chat on Xbox Series X|S, you may have heard unwanted noises and audio dropouts. Noise reduction helps remove extraneous sounds, such as those from your controller, breathing, or ambient sound from people you’re talking to.
If you want to keep other background sounds, like music, you can also disable noise reduction. Open the Guide, go to the Groups & Chat tab and select Options. This is where you can enable or disable noise reduction.
Launch a game directly from screenshots shared by your friends on mobile and PC
Millions of Xbox gamers are sharing videos and screenshots through Link Sharing, which became available late last year. Now, friends you share your creations with will not only be able to watch them, but also immediately launch the relevant game from their device, via Cloud Gaming (some titles require an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription to launch from the cloud).
The next time a friend sends you an epic moment from their favorite game, like Forza Horizon 5, all you have to do is click “Play” to start a game, right from your browser.
That shouldn’t change your life, but make your parts on Xbox even more comfortable. The Xbox Series S is currently available from €299.99 on Amazon.co.uk.
