As committed gaming enthusiasts, we continue to post these release notes to keep you informed about the updates coming your way. Let’s dive into the details below:

- Various updates have been made to properly reflect local languages across the console. Please note that users participating in the Preview may encounter “odd” text across the console. For more information, visit our official channel for further guidance.
Known Issues
We acknowledge that some issues have been listed in previous Xbox Insider Release Notes. Rest assured, our dedicated team is actively working to find a solution. Here are some known issues that you need to be mindful of:
Audio
- We have recently received reports of users experiencing intermittent audio issues across the dashboard, games, and apps. If you encounter such issues, please submit feedback via Report a Problem immediately. In your report, be sure to include details such as the timing of the issue, information on whether it affects only the game/app or the entire system audio, any changes made to the audio format, and your console setup information.
Keyboard Button Mapping for Xbox Controllers
- If you change your keyboard language settings while the Xbox Accessories app is open, the change will be reflected after quitting the app or rebooting your console.
Manage Queue
- We are aware that recently installed titles may wrap to a second row unexpectedly. Rest assured, we are actively working on a fix to address this issue.
Networking
- We are currently investigating reports of a network connectivity issue that some users may experience during boot. If you encounter such an issue, please report it via Report a Problem as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can use the workaround by waiting for a minute for the connection to establish. If the console still fails to connect, you can restart your Xbox from the Power Center by holding the Xbox button and selecting Restart Console.
Remember, your feedback is crucial in helping us improve your gaming experience. Therefore, please make sure to use the “Report a problem” tool to keep us informed about any issues you encounter.
