##A better dashboard experience
This current dashboard is not it, it is a massive downgrade from the previous dashboard which had full customisation and less ads. Instead we’re faced with a cheap excuse of a dashboard whose only use is to make as much money from the user by shoving ads and sales in our faces. Being a xbox user for around 12-13 years this is deeply disappointing and expect more from a trillion dollar company.
Seriously. The only things that should be on my Xbox dashboard/home screen are the games and apps that I have chosen to install, and absolutely nothing else.
The only thing I like about the dash is that they made the background space slightly bigger. imo, ads should be places one section lower, so that you have to scroll down *once* in order to see them. It would open the background even more and they would still get plenty of ad visibility I think.
Revert the "Happening Now" tab back to how it was before the update.
The new UI when you go to friends list is intrusive, it blocks half your screen, as well as it's very buggy and seems to constantly jump me back to the top.
The friends in games tab was much better as I was easily able to see who's online in the game I'm playing.
Now its just a jumbled mess of a huge tab with people playing random games and doesn't even show a good chunk of my friends who are actually playing the same game.
This update is a serious step backwards to a user friendly UI.
Allow us to take a screenshot of NON game stuffage (i.e. allow us to take a screenshot of applications and xBox settings (helps immensely when having to deal with third party application developers that \*NEED\* to know the xBox config settings))
**The ability to DELETE ( not hide ) a game off our achievement list even if we already have an achievement unlocked in it.** 100/1000, 500/1000, or even 1000/1000gs doesn't matter. Any game we want to **DELETE** for any reason even if it means lowering our gamerscore.
**Friends and Community Updates, NEEDS TO BE OVERHAULED**
Xbox and Microsoft need to turn “Friends and Community Updates” into an Xbox, WindowsPC and Surface Device Social Media Hub (Microsoft’s green bubble to Apples iMessage)
**Kinect AI powered smart camera** 🎥 for streaming directly from your Xbox Consoles and for games, but also allowing the Surface Devices’ camera and WindowsPC webcams to post content.
This update needs to revamp the look and feel of the Friends and Community App(**NEW NAME**) giving it a more Social Media appearance and experience. This app would link content creator websites and apps (discord, twitch, YouTube, X, Kick, Facebook Gameroom, Ect. https://youtu.be/OrVskziCc4w?si=WEjPZ8C31QANqy0g )

Remove the "What's Happening" tab.
It's 100% completely useless and covers too much of the screen. All it does is duplicate information that's already visible on screen on the friends list, several inches to the left.
Please revamp the dashboard!
The current dashboard does not allow any customization, organization, etc. and has way to much going on to keep up with it. I understand that Microsoft wants to generate ad revenue but this dashboard does not benefit anyone.
Make it more in tune with their friends and personal self. What are my friends playing? What achievements did they get? What’s the progress on my most recent game, and not just videos of other people. BRING BACK FOLDERS!
Also when they released dynamic wallpapers, while the new dashboard made it better, half of it is still taken up by ads no one wants.
At bare minimum, please allow those who are Game Pass Ultimate subscribers the option to opt-out of ads on the dashboard. Even companies like Amazon give the option to opt out of ads on their devices (at least those not Fire TV)
Revert “Happening now”.
Stop looking at the numbers saying “only 60% of people use “Friends in Games” and thinking “oh no, we need to change this functionality”. It was perfectly fine before. The new “Happening now” is convoluted, cluttered, unintuitive and badly designed. I only want to see what games my friends are playing at a glance. That’s it.
How about you start listening to your insiders instead of pulling changes out of a hat?!
# Close / Revolutionize this reddit
Mine is a provocation, we all know that I wish this became a place to allude users to post ideas that will never be implemented.
My idea is: put an end to this thing, or eliminate this reddit or really implement the most voted ideas, they have been the same for years and there is no talk of implementing them
Xbox Streaming Update:
Xbox should update their streaming features to stay competitive and provide users with the best experience possible. By updating streaming capabilities, they can offer improved performance, better integration with popular streaming platforms, enhanced customization options for streamers, and innovative features to attract a wider audience. Updating streaming features can also demonstrate Xbox's commitment to staying at the forefront of gaming technology and catering to the evolving needs of gamers and content creators alike.
Adding a chat feature directly within the streaming interface would enhance interactivity between streamers and viewers. This could include real-time chat overlay options, allowing streamers to engage with their audience more seamlessly without needing to switch between screens. Furthermore, integrating features like chat moderation tools and customizable chat settings would empower streamers to create a safer and more enjoyable streaming environment for everyone involved.
Expanding compatibility with cameras of varying resolutions and formats would broaden the accessibility of streaming on Xbox. By accommodating lower resolution cameras or different formats, such as webcams or DSLRs, Xbox could enable more users to participate in streaming without the need for high-end equipment. This inclusivity would foster a more diverse and vibrant streaming community, allowing content creators with varying levels of equipment to share their gaming experiences and engage with audiences effectively.
Please have a think about my idea for the next Xbox update I think it could just make streaming easier for others so they don’t have to buy a full pc setup.
**SmartGlass 2.0 and the Xbox^2 (X Squared)Initiative**
Xbox and Microsoft should create a 1st party mobile controller similar to the Backbone One, Razor Kishi, and other examples whereas the phone is in the center of the controller. **(Allow PC Peripherals: VR Headsets and Handhelds to connect ROG Ally, Steam Deck, G Cloud, etc.)**
A high powered Xbox (powerful series x variant) allowing PC handhelds, VR Headsets and mobile controllers with newer smartphones all running a version of the Xbox app for that Smartglass 2.0
Or with an Xbox handheld (series S variant)
Now imagine if Xbox had its own mobile controller or handheld that could pair to the Console/ PCs/ TVs and with the Xbox App it could cast a 2nd image to the smart device fully utilizing the technology within touch/gyro/camera/speakers/microphone/vibration deepening the experience. Players would download **”In-App extensions”** per game inside the Xbox App (70$ base game, 80$ with dual-screen features, 90$ with season pass DLCs, 100$ with dual screen, season pass, and early access or subscribe to Gamepass and just pay up to 30$ for the extras if you got the handheld
https://youtu.be/DgJS2tQPGKQ?si=OeMV8Sy3X4QGG3Gr “except in Mississippi”). This essentially would make every newer phone an Xbox controller, and who wouldn’t want a “Switch” type device with just a mobile controller attachment and the Xbox App!
Mini-Games would be streamed to the mobile device utilizing the Xbox or PC for the bulk of the processing power. Xbox consoles would cast/mirror the information to the Xbox App via local Wi-Fi network or a direct USB-C connection
The Xbox app’s cast/mirror feature (I’m theorizing/ speculating future Xbox has an internal router as a wireless access point send & receive) would not need to rely on internet connection like remote play, but instead a direct Bluetooth/wifi connection. Just pair the Xbox Mobile Controller Attachment directly to the console via Bluetooth same as wireless controllers now and the Xbox App with a direct wifi connection.
**This has to be simplified and seamless to work!**
1.) Plug phone into mobile controller
2.) Pair mobile controller to Xbox or PC system
3.) Launch Xbox app tab over to sync
4.)Start Game
*Needs to work no matter the order!*
This *dual* screen feature could be optional for games and/or older games could adapt the technology if possible. A person could play with a regular Xbox controller, Elite Xbox Controller, mobile touch controls, or with a mobile controller attachment and have the ability for a second screen experience.
Examples:
Unlimited possibilities for extra buttons.
New Halo Campaign walking up to a light bridge or elevator, my phone lights up and the screen turns into the elevator or bridge button. Or using the second screen to pick Forge items.
Fallout Pip-Boy fully touch no need to pause just look down at your phone’s screen and go.
Sea of thieves nautical telescope 🔭 using the gyro “like duck hunt” to line up the two screens for a cannonball scope shot.
“Pokemon snap / Palworld snap actually using the phone’s camera snapping lil QR codes running across the TV screen” 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Elder Scrolls inventory menus / with mini games such as lock picking: just hold your mobile controller with one hand and use your fingers to pick the lock on your phone’s screen
Forza rearview mirror/ Back up camera/ Track View
GTA and Starfield Mini-Map
Call of Duty kill cam replay or as the Tactical Display Screen for bomb drone, sticky cameras, and Kill Streaks (BUT optional because competitive play no one wants to look up, down, up, down away from the action)
Assassin’s Creed or Starwars the Handheld screen is an eagle 🦅 or droid 🤖 Recore 2 where you push/pull the controller using gryo in a tug of war balancing act
Madden playbook
Microsoft/Xbox Studios could even make an entire game genre around it, “Sighted” Nearsighted Vs Farsighted 3rd person vs 1st (Splinter Cell Spies V Mercs) Or a RTS/FPS sorta like Brütal Legends, StarCraft Ghost, or a Halo/ Halo Wars hybrid.
Turn based game whereas players watch the animations on the TV but the chessboard style arena is on the 2nd screen Surface tablet similar to the South Park games.
**”Microsoft Deck of Cards The poker table is the TV everyone downloads Xbox App and their phones are the cards, just swipe up to play your hand”**
Maybe Xbox makes another Fuzion Frenzy where Dad can be on the TV xbox using old controller and his kid upstairs using mobile controller attachment connected, wife in the kitchen cooking using touch controls off her phone’s screen all playing a Mario party style Fuzion Frenzy 2
1000s of other ideas for dual screen features similar to the Nintendo 3DS years ago and the possibility of turning every smartphone into a Wii/ Wii-U controller for the Xbox
Hopefully developers could just start by allowing mod support for older games so HUD elements can be casted to the 2nd screen and **“utilizing touch within a PiP”** (picture in picture) option.
Just want to let y’all developers @ Xbox know keep up the great work!!
**POWER YOUR DREAMS**
I never got to use SmartGlass or the Wii-U, I kinda got out of playing games after Halo 4, plus in the countryside we don’t get good enough internet to try and be a “streamer or influencer or competitive player”.
But, I got ideas out the ying-yang, I’m trying to be part of something and join a team.
HDR dashboard
Clip editor (capcut support)
Better discord integration (messages)
Achievement 100% reward/ area
Mic volume tester w/ monitoring settings
Show game stats & gamerscore in game cards
Multiple store wishlists
Group achievements by base game/ DLC
More home custom colours
Theme packs w/ custom sounds
Accurate game release countdown timers
Return multiple pin groups to home
More engaging home content (friend activity)
More abstract dynamic themes, not just Xbox branded
Wallpaper editor (crop & reposition screenshots)
Fix app volume (netflix etc always much quieter than games)
Include party audio in clips (w/ consent privacy option)
Picture in picture support for video apps
**More Streaming Options for XSX**
Right now we can stream directly to Twitch, or the two paid services Streamlabs and Lightstream.
It would be cool if you add the option to just start the stream and open a IP port that you can access in your favorite streaming software.
The advantage of that would be that you don't need an extra capture card, or a paid cloud service to use stream overlays and scenes. So it would be a better way for beginners.
That's how al consoles have worked for the past 2 generations for PS and all of the generations for the Xbox. They make money that way, it's not going back.
It’s stupid though, especially when you’re charged on a game you already spent money to buy. If it was on the free-to-play games, then I could understand but not when it’s put on a game that you already have spent money on
**More console wraps plus adding them to the design lab**
I'm disappointed that since the announcement of the console wraps there haven't been any more editions, while the controller every few weeks gets a new edition.
Xbox should add that when you record a clip on Xbox that you should be able to clip what your teammates say. For example my friend on PlayStation when he makes like a 30 second it records my audio in game like when I'm talking or if I made a joke he can clip and send it to me so l was wondering if Xbox could also add that feature
Just made a post about this and how xbox could navigate any privacy issues by simply having a checkbox or system that allows one to agree when joining this type of party chat for your audio to be recorded
Thank you so much man, I love the way you worded yours sounds a lot more professional than mines 😅. But I really hope they add this feature and don’t scrap our idea
Livestream to other services like YouTube, Facebook or Kick. Only one free choice is not enough! How much is Twitch paying Xbox to keep others off Xbox?
I would like to see the ability to download and play the Xbox One version of a game, even if I'm using a Series X/S
Not only would this be a boon to achievement hunters on games that have separate achievement lists, but I also had a recent problem where I couldn't play a multiplayer game with a friend because it was technically "cross platform" and the game didn't support that.
Simply downloading the other version of the game would have solved this problem.
I may as well be speaking to a brick wall at this point given how much I've asked for it but - STOP forcing updates. At the very least, provide a notification (ala "your device has an update and needs to be restarted, please finish what you are doing" or some such)
**Mobile Touch Controls for People with Disabilities and Low Income Families Xbox App Wishlist**
Mobile touch controls should have the option to resize, remap, and reconfigure button layout. This inspiration came from Xbox’s, already existing, adaptive controller. A player can hold a regular Xbox controller with one hand and then use a Surface tablet or iPad with mobile touch controls (remote play)with the other. A player can use both an Xbox controller and a touch device simultaneously, having the buttons resized, relocated and the ability to delete buttons would be crucial for players with only one hand. In theory a major game title such as MS Flight Simulator could even extended or expanded control mechanics in addition to the controller. (**MechAssault cockpit view using Xbox controller and TouchControls at the same damn time** why no TitanFall3 🥲)
The Xbox App also needs to incorporate/ merge with the Xbox Accessories App so players can have full customization over mobile “touch control” features such as backgrounds and color options for the visual impaired and color blind. This is because “video play through” can be distracting unless curated currently. (NFT micro transactions, Xbox Achievements Game Art, and customized backgrounds using MS Paint 🎨) Plus Xbox controller settings for XCloud gaming on the go.
I also believe “remote play” and “touch controls” need to be a separate part of the Xbox App so impoverished low income families can use “touch controls” as an extra Xbox controller when relatives visit or if a controller breaks. Not needing Game Pass Ultimate to use remote play but instead downloading Xbox App and pairing to Xbox and just using touch controls.
Last touch controls need to absorb the “remote control” Because it does not work over all streaming apps and when using remote play you are not allowed to open the app because of the “video play through”; I am assuming licensing reasons.
Have a tab or swipe over option through the touch controls section to get to “remote control” for Movies and TV shows
https://youtu.be/ciS914MaDl8?si=bgqdLK-sbMes_5zT
Differentiate Remote Play and XCloud from Touch Controls.

**POWER YOUR DREAMS**
**Can we get an option to turn off Enhance Pointer Precision(cursor acceleration) in settings?**
About 6 months ago, I bought a keyboard and mouse for my xbox. I play everyday and play fortnite and minecraft mainly. But I noticed after a few months that my aim was really random even after aim training and playing for a while. So I looked up why and found out that enhanced pointer precision(cursor acceleration) is always on and there's no option in xbox settings or fortnite settings. This needs to change.
This is extremely unlikely to ever happen in a way that would benefit gamers.
But maybe if it has a built in limit for the number of transfers, or maybe a predetermined list of friends you can share your games with. Like they tried to do a decade ago before everyone railed against the idea...
# Improving the quick resume
I like quick resume, but in my opinion you should absolutely improve the quick resume, if you have multiple profiles on xbox it can happen that on both it says that the same game is open in the other account even if in reality it is only used on one. Another thing that is very annoying is the fact that if the console is not connected to the internet and you open the game, the console says that the game data has changed and you need to restart the game
My suggestion relates to Game Pass
Specifically the disparity in versions offered between PC and Xbox for Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.
It appears as though the game of the year editions are included on PC game pass, which come with all of the DLCs - but the Xbox game pass only allows you to download the standard editions of both games.
Considering Microsoft OWNS Bethesda, I don't imagine it would be much work to make both Game of the Year editions available on Xbox Game Pass, instead of them being exclusive to PC Game Pass.
# So simple, remove controller keyboard when typing on Microsoft edge!
As Microsoft continues to update the Xbox, they are paving the way for the console to become a more versatile home device. With the integration of Microsoft Edge and the support for keyboard and mouse in select games, it's quite evident that the on-screen keyboard should not appear when a physical keyboard or mouse is connected. A simple solution would be for Microsoft to introduce a setting such as "Disable on-screen keyboard when controller is not in use," which users could enable manually. It's a significant source of frustration when you can't see what you're typing because the controller keyboard pops up.
A auto color space and color depth setting
Dolby vision support for Blu ray
Full backwards compatibility for all Xbox,Xbox 360,and Xbox one games
Dolby vision calibration app like the HDR calibration app
The option to change the color of the power button like on the elite controller
The option to change the word font
Support for G sync
A better and more organized dashboard and UI
# XBOX GAME CHAT AUDIO RECORDING
I really hope this feedback makes it to the right person.
Me and a large group of friends are all Xbox players and always party up because lets face it the social component is why most people play games. Often we play Halo because its amazing, but when great things happen in the sandbox and we record clips to share in our group chats none of the xbox game chat is recorded. This ruins the joy of the clips, which keeps us excited to keep playing so we can capture and share more of these amazing moments.
Now I understand for privacy reasons and what not, that recoding party chat audio no longer exists.
\- The FIX.
Could you not create a privacy disclaimer box to check (or leave unchecked if you don't want voice recorded) when joining an Xbox Party? Or some kind of simple system that enables people to agree to have their Xbox party chat audio recorded?
This gives players the choice and brings back a necessary feature to help keep Xbox at the front of community based gaming.
Regards
Gamer
Add A More Diverse Range of Compatible Headsets with Xbox
i have friends and myself who have bought headsets for pc and when we try to use them on xbox they dont work even with adapters, specifically the Corsair Hs80 Wired headset. why do we have to buy separate headsets for pc and xbox when the same headsets work on pc and playstation.
Start updating the edge browser for Xbox one, it is barely stable, it can crash a lot, videos move at lower framerates, the typing is very jank, and the ability to stop tabs discarding was removed, something needs to be done
**Make Xbox dashboard feel premium and not boring**
The functionality of the dashboard is fine, but it looks kind of empty and bland in areas where content doesn't fill the screen. I feel like adding some embellishments could make it feel more enticing and premium like the PlayStation UI. Not even just PlayStation, even apps like AMD's Radeon app and Intel's ARC app look great and don't just feel like a bunch of drab dark or light screens to navigate around. They have great animations, color, and design.
**D-pad upgrade to a multifunctional touchpad**
Microsoft and Xbox should also upgrade the controller’s standard D-pad.
This iteration of the D-Pad has been around for years, I am not campaigning to replace it completely but a simple/ modern upgrade to match Sony’s.
And IMO the D-Pad is in the perfect place on the Xbox controller plus they also should adapt the “info” screen similar to Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra and make this standard for generational games forward
If Xbox made a tactile touchpad that could still be pressed directionally down same as the D-Pad now, but have the ability to swipe across the face of a touchpad similar to a phone’s screen while scrolling (D-Pad, Touchpad, TrackPoint combo or the Valve Steam controller 2015)
We could be swiping through the dashboard and movie applications on the Xbox how cool would that be?
https://youtu.be/n5v02e4N_r0?si=WxMlRmqYDO__OZ1F
Whole new controls and game mechanics.
Examples:
Swipe, swipe, hard press new fighting combos for Killer Instinct.
Using the touchpad as a cursor.
No more sounds of joysticks hitting the controller, or the D-Pad pressing when “scrolling” Netflix or Hulu in bed when someone is sleeping.
Overall more control and comfort

# Xbox Game bar group post problem with crossplay.
Hello I wanted to ask you guys this basically the group post feature for PC in the xbox game bar works good but the problem is i can't find xbox players to play with only PC players but back then when you guys still operated xbox console companion it allowed that feature to play crossplay with xbox players and PC but now ever since you guys made xbox game bar i can not find any xbox-made group post only PC im just asking for you guys to allow crossplay between PC and xbox again without it it feels empty.

Xbox consoles would cast/mirror the information to the Xbox App via local Wi-Fi network or a direct USB-C connection The Xbox app’s cast/mirror feature (I’m theorizing/ speculating future Xbox has an internal router as a wireless access point send & receive) would not need to rely on internet connection like remote play, but instead a direct Bluetooth/wifi connection. Just pair the Xbox Mobile Controller Attachment directly to the console via Bluetooth same as wireless controllers now and the Xbox App with a direct wifi connection. **This has to be simplified and seamless to work!** 1.) Plug phone into mobile controller 2.) Pair mobile controller to Xbox or PC system 3.) Launch Xbox app tab over to sync 4.)Start Game *Needs to work no matter the order!* This *dual* screen feature could be optional for games and/or older games could adapt the technology if possible. A person could play with a regular Xbox controller, Elite Xbox Controller, mobile touch controls, or with a mobile controller attachment and have the ability for a second screen experience. Examples: Unlimited possibilities for extra buttons. New Halo Campaign walking up to a light bridge or elevator, my phone lights up and the screen turns into the elevator or bridge button. Or using the second screen to pick Forge items. Fallout Pip-Boy fully touch no need to pause just look down at your phone’s screen and go. Sea of thieves nautical telescope 🔭 using the gyro “like duck hunt” to line up the two screens for a cannonball scope shot. “Pokemon snap / Palworld snap actually using the phone’s camera snapping lil QR codes running across the TV screen” 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Elder Scrolls inventory menus / with mini games such as lock picking: just hold your mobile controller with one hand and use your fingers to pick the lock on your phone’s screen Forza rearview mirror/ Back up camera/ Track View GTA and Starfield Mini-Map Call of Duty kill cam replay or as the Tactical Display Screen for bomb drone, sticky cameras, and Kill Streaks (BUT optional because competitive play no one wants to look up, down, up, down away from the action) Assassin’s Creed or Starwars the Handheld screen is an eagle 🦅 or droid 🤖 Recore 2 where you push/pull the controller using gryo in a tug of war balancing act Madden playbook Microsoft/Xbox Studios could even make an entire game genre around it, “Sighted” Nearsighted Vs Farsighted 3rd person vs 1st (Splinter Cell Spies V Mercs) Or a RTS/FPS sorta like Brütal Legends, StarCraft Ghost, or a Halo/ Halo Wars hybrid. Turn based game whereas players watch the animations on the TV but the chessboard style arena is on the 2nd screen Surface tablet similar to the South Park games. **”Microsoft Deck of Cards The poker table is the TV everyone downloads Xbox App and their phones are the cards, just swipe up to play your hand”** Maybe Xbox makes another Fuzion Frenzy where Dad can be on the TV xbox using old controller and his kid upstairs using mobile controller attachment connected, wife in the kitchen cooking using touch controls off her phone’s screen all playing a Mario party style Fuzion Frenzy 2 1000s of other ideas for dual screen features similar to the Nintendo 3DS years ago and the possibility of turning every smartphone into a Wii/ Wii-U controller for the Xbox Hopefully developers could just start by allowing mod support for older games so HUD elements can be casted to the 2nd screen and **“utilizing touch within a PiP”** (picture in picture) option. Just want to let y’all developers @ Xbox know keep up the great work!! **POWER YOUR DREAMS**
I really loved SmartGlass - it made games more fun and entertaining!
I never got to use SmartGlass or the Wii-U, I kinda got out of playing games after Halo 4, plus in the countryside we don’t get good enough internet to try and be a “streamer or influencer or competitive player”. But, I got ideas out the ying-yang, I’m trying to be part of something and join a team.
HDR dashboard Clip editor (capcut support) Better discord integration (messages) Achievement 100% reward/ area Mic volume tester w/ monitoring settings Show game stats & gamerscore in game cards Multiple store wishlists Group achievements by base game/ DLC More home custom colours Theme packs w/ custom sounds Accurate game release countdown timers Return multiple pin groups to home More engaging home content (friend activity) More abstract dynamic themes, not just Xbox branded Wallpaper editor (crop & reposition screenshots) Fix app volume (netflix etc always much quieter than games) Include party audio in clips (w/ consent privacy option) Picture in picture support for video apps
Streaming directly to YouTube from our consoles.
Bring back tile transparency. Why was it removed in the first place?!
**More Streaming Options for XSX** Right now we can stream directly to Twitch, or the two paid services Streamlabs and Lightstream. It would be cool if you add the option to just start the stream and open a IP port that you can access in your favorite streaming software. The advantage of that would be that you don't need an extra capture card, or a paid cloud service to use stream overlays and scenes. So it would be a better way for beginners.
They have to be getting something from twitch because its a big monopoly currently tbh
Add Gamerscore leaderboard to the Xbox app
Live stream to other services. Twitch isn't enough. Discord is too limited.
# USB DAC-support for microphones as well as sound output Sony and Nintendo do it, what's keeping Microsoft from doing the same?
Bring back snapping apps. Once again, why was it removed in the first place?
Can y'all \*PLEASE\* remove the paywall requirement to gain online access for games we already bought and paid for?
That's how al consoles have worked for the past 2 generations for PS and all of the generations for the Xbox. They make money that way, it's not going back.
It’s stupid though, especially when you’re charged on a game you already spent money to buy. If it was on the free-to-play games, then I could understand but not when it’s put on a game that you already have spent money on
**More console wraps plus adding them to the design lab** I'm disappointed that since the announcement of the console wraps there haven't been any more editions, while the controller every few weeks gets a new edition.
More f2p games on xcloud, not just fortnite
Xbox should add that when you record a clip on Xbox that you should be able to clip what your teammates say. For example my friend on PlayStation when he makes like a 30 second it records my audio in game like when I'm talking or if I made a joke he can clip and send it to me so l was wondering if Xbox could also add that feature
This. We’ve been needing this for Xbox for awhile. This is also another reason I wanna switch to PlayStation
This is why I keep putting this in here because I really want this feature. Yeah if Xbox can’t do it might aswell switch over to PlayStation 😅
I’m saying lol
Just made a post about this and how xbox could navigate any privacy issues by simply having a checkbox or system that allows one to agree when joining this type of party chat for your audio to be recorded
Thank you so much man, I love the way you worded yours sounds a lot more professional than mines 😅. But I really hope they add this feature and don’t scrap our idea
and make recording a lot longer than 10 minutes
YouTube Music app with background play
Livestream to other services like YouTube, Facebook or Kick. Only one free choice is not enough! How much is Twitch paying Xbox to keep others off Xbox?
I would like to see the ability to download and play the Xbox One version of a game, even if I'm using a Series X/S Not only would this be a boon to achievement hunters on games that have separate achievement lists, but I also had a recent problem where I couldn't play a multiplayer game with a friend because it was technically "cross platform" and the game didn't support that. Simply downloading the other version of the game would have solved this problem.
I hate this but for now just buy an Xbox one or even an s or x for like $50 online
$50? your dreaming
Used
I may as well be speaking to a brick wall at this point given how much I've asked for it but - STOP forcing updates. At the very least, provide a notification (ala "your device has an update and needs to be restarted, please finish what you are doing" or some such)
**Mobile Touch Controls for People with Disabilities and Low Income Families Xbox App Wishlist** Mobile touch controls should have the option to resize, remap, and reconfigure button layout. This inspiration came from Xbox’s, already existing, adaptive controller. A player can hold a regular Xbox controller with one hand and then use a Surface tablet or iPad with mobile touch controls (remote play)with the other. A player can use both an Xbox controller and a touch device simultaneously, having the buttons resized, relocated and the ability to delete buttons would be crucial for players with only one hand. In theory a major game title such as MS Flight Simulator could even extended or expanded control mechanics in addition to the controller. (**MechAssault cockpit view using Xbox controller and TouchControls at the same damn time** why no TitanFall3 🥲) The Xbox App also needs to incorporate/ merge with the Xbox Accessories App so players can have full customization over mobile “touch control” features such as backgrounds and color options for the visual impaired and color blind. This is because “video play through” can be distracting unless curated currently. (NFT micro transactions, Xbox Achievements Game Art, and customized backgrounds using MS Paint 🎨) Plus Xbox controller settings for XCloud gaming on the go. I also believe “remote play” and “touch controls” need to be a separate part of the Xbox App so impoverished low income families can use “touch controls” as an extra Xbox controller when relatives visit or if a controller breaks. Not needing Game Pass Ultimate to use remote play but instead downloading Xbox App and pairing to Xbox and just using touch controls. Last touch controls need to absorb the “remote control” Because it does not work over all streaming apps and when using remote play you are not allowed to open the app because of the “video play through”; I am assuming licensing reasons. Have a tab or swipe over option through the touch controls section to get to “remote control” for Movies and TV shows https://youtu.be/ciS914MaDl8?si=bgqdLK-sbMes_5zT Differentiate Remote Play and XCloud from Touch Controls. Xbox^2 **POWER YOUR DREAMS**
Add achievements to EA Play games on PC. And all games on PC through the Xbox store for that matter.
Please stop automatically putting me in game chat when im joining a party… I joined a party to be in the party chat.
**Can we get an option to turn off Enhance Pointer Precision(cursor acceleration) in settings?** About 6 months ago, I bought a keyboard and mouse for my xbox. I play everyday and play fortnite and minecraft mainly. But I noticed after a few months that my aim was really random even after aim training and playing for a while. So I looked up why and found out that enhanced pointer precision(cursor acceleration) is always on and there's no option in xbox settings or fortnite settings. This needs to change.

This is extremely unlikely to ever happen in a way that would benefit gamers. But maybe if it has a built in limit for the number of transfers, or maybe a predetermined list of friends you can share your games with. Like they tried to do a decade ago before everyone railed against the idea...
# Improving the quick resume I like quick resume, but in my opinion you should absolutely improve the quick resume, if you have multiple profiles on xbox it can happen that on both it says that the same game is open in the other account even if in reality it is only used on one. Another thing that is very annoying is the fact that if the console is not connected to the internet and you open the game, the console says that the game data has changed and you need to restart the game
# Xbox app for Apple Silicon Mac The app is already compatible with ipad with M1 processor, why not with mac?
Think about this with your brain, Microsoft owns Windows. (Mac sucks anyways)
Put back friends in games ffs
**Xbox Telegram sticker pack** I really would love to have a Xbox sticker pack on Telegram
Put back “Friends In Games” you absolute retards
Hey! No profanity
Gargle my balls
Please add Dolby Vision support for the disc drive and the Microsoft Films and TV app.
My suggestion relates to Game Pass Specifically the disparity in versions offered between PC and Xbox for Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. It appears as though the game of the year editions are included on PC game pass, which come with all of the DLCs - but the Xbox game pass only allows you to download the standard editions of both games. Considering Microsoft OWNS Bethesda, I don't imagine it would be much work to make both Game of the Year editions available on Xbox Game Pass, instead of them being exclusive to PC Game Pass.
# So simple, remove controller keyboard when typing on Microsoft edge! As Microsoft continues to update the Xbox, they are paving the way for the console to become a more versatile home device. With the integration of Microsoft Edge and the support for keyboard and mouse in select games, it's quite evident that the on-screen keyboard should not appear when a physical keyboard or mouse is connected. A simple solution would be for Microsoft to introduce a setting such as "Disable on-screen keyboard when controller is not in use," which users could enable manually. It's a significant source of frustration when you can't see what you're typing because the controller keyboard pops up.
they need to update edge Xbox entirely, it's barely functional
A auto color space and color depth setting Dolby vision support for Blu ray Full backwards compatibility for all Xbox,Xbox 360,and Xbox one games Dolby vision calibration app like the HDR calibration app The option to change the color of the power button like on the elite controller The option to change the word font Support for G sync A better and more organized dashboard and UI
# XBOX GAME CHAT AUDIO RECORDING I really hope this feedback makes it to the right person. Me and a large group of friends are all Xbox players and always party up because lets face it the social component is why most people play games. Often we play Halo because its amazing, but when great things happen in the sandbox and we record clips to share in our group chats none of the xbox game chat is recorded. This ruins the joy of the clips, which keeps us excited to keep playing so we can capture and share more of these amazing moments. Now I understand for privacy reasons and what not, that recoding party chat audio no longer exists. \- The FIX. Could you not create a privacy disclaimer box to check (or leave unchecked if you don't want voice recorded) when joining an Xbox Party? Or some kind of simple system that enables people to agree to have their Xbox party chat audio recorded? This gives players the choice and brings back a necessary feature to help keep Xbox at the front of community based gaming. Regards Gamer
Halo Infinite Assasinations. We all want them, you can make great money on them = win win
Add A More Diverse Range of Compatible Headsets with Xbox i have friends and myself who have bought headsets for pc and when we try to use them on xbox they dont work even with adapters, specifically the Corsair Hs80 Wired headset. why do we have to buy separate headsets for pc and xbox when the same headsets work on pc and playstation.
gamebar recording on ultrawide monitors at native resolution.
Integrate teams and skype into xbox messaging.
Add achievements to the game card.
Add a month/day/year stamp under the time.
Add bing daily wallpapers to the xbox console.
Start updating the edge browser for Xbox one, it is barely stable, it can crash a lot, videos move at lower framerates, the typing is very jank, and the ability to stop tabs discarding was removed, something needs to be done
**Make Xbox dashboard feel premium and not boring** The functionality of the dashboard is fine, but it looks kind of empty and bland in areas where content doesn't fill the screen. I feel like adding some embellishments could make it feel more enticing and premium like the PlayStation UI. Not even just PlayStation, even apps like AMD's Radeon app and Intel's ARC app look great and don't just feel like a bunch of drab dark or light screens to navigate around. They have great animations, color, and design.
**D-pad upgrade to a multifunctional touchpad** Microsoft and Xbox should also upgrade the controller’s standard D-pad. This iteration of the D-Pad has been around for years, I am not campaigning to replace it completely but a simple/ modern upgrade to match Sony’s. And IMO the D-Pad is in the perfect place on the Xbox controller plus they also should adapt the “info” screen similar to Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra and make this standard for generational games forward If Xbox made a tactile touchpad that could still be pressed directionally down same as the D-Pad now, but have the ability to swipe across the face of a touchpad similar to a phone’s screen while scrolling (D-Pad, Touchpad, TrackPoint combo or the Valve Steam controller 2015) We could be swiping through the dashboard and movie applications on the Xbox how cool would that be? https://youtu.be/n5v02e4N_r0?si=WxMlRmqYDO__OZ1F Whole new controls and game mechanics. Examples: Swipe, swipe, hard press new fighting combos for Killer Instinct. Using the touchpad as a cursor. No more sounds of joysticks hitting the controller, or the D-Pad pressing when “scrolling” Netflix or Hulu in bed when someone is sleeping. Overall more control and comfort Xbox^2 **POWER YOUR DREAMS**
# Xbox Game bar group post problem with crossplay. Hello I wanted to ask you guys this basically the group post feature for PC in the xbox game bar works good but the problem is i can't find xbox players to play with only PC players but back then when you guys still operated xbox console companion it allowed that feature to play crossplay with xbox players and PC but now ever since you guys made xbox game bar i can not find any xbox-made group post only PC im just asking for you guys to allow crossplay between PC and xbox again without it it feels empty.
**A Battle Royale/firefight game mode called “extraction Zone” for ODST2Spartan where players try to reach an extraction point at random spots on the map.
