Starting today, a select group of Xbox Insiders can test the newest console updates, which introduce a faster boot sequence, tiered Gamerscore badges, and smarter game library filters. These features will gradually reach more Insiders before a full public rollout later this year. The team is eager for feedback and promises additional requested features throughout the year.
The console now greets players with a refreshed boot up experience. A new animation and sound, featuring the iconic green Xbox logo, creates a polished and energetic start from the moment you press the power button.
Players can now earn tiered Gamerscore badges that visually represent their lifetime achievement totals. These badges appear on your profile and in the Guide, offering an instant snapshot of your progress. As your Gamerscore climbs, the badge evolves to mark each milestone.
Managing your game library becomes more intuitive with new filtering options. You can quickly separate titles you own from those shared with you, and identify installed games you can no longer play. This clarity is especially helpful when switching between devices or consoles, showing you exactly what is playable.
The team thanks Insiders for their ongoing feedback. For support, join the Xbox Insider subreddit, where official staff, moderators, and fellow testers provide assistance. Before posting a new thread, check for existing discussions on the same topic to streamline support.
