# Xbox Update Preview Released for Omega Ring
The Xbox Insider Program has announced a new Xbox Update Preview for the Omega ring, featuring important updates and fixes to ensure a quality and stable build for Xbox consoles. Although the noticeable changes to the user interface may be minimal, it is crucial to keep gamers informed about the updates coming to their devices.
Here are the details of the system update:
– **OS version released:** XB_FLT_2310ZN\25398.2504.231009-2200
– **Available:** 4 p.m. PT – October 12, 2023
– **Mandatory:** 4 p.m. PT – October 13, 2023
Please note that this update may not occur automatically before it becomes mandatory. To ensure you have the most current update, simply open the Guide > Profile & System > Settings > System > Updates.
Newly enrolled users in the Omega ring are not guaranteed to receive all early updates, but they will receive the update prior to the GA (General Availability) release. However, a small subset of users may remain on their current GA build until the next system update becomes mandatory for the public. For more information, visit the Xbox Insider Program FAQ.
**Fixes Implemented**
The Xbox engineering team has been hard at work, and several fixes have been implemented for this build:
**Games**
– Addressed an issue where an unexpected cursor could remain visible during gameplay in some titles.
**System**
– Various updates to properly reflect local languages across the console. Note that Preview users may see “odd” text until the issue is resolved.
**Known Issues**
While the engineering team continues to work on resolving various issues, some of them may still persist. Here are some known issues that users may encounter:
**Audio**
– Intermittent issues with audio across the dashboard, games, and apps have been reported. Users are advised to ensure they have the latest firmware updates for their TV and other equipment. If issues persist, users can submit feedback via Report a Problem with the “Reproduce with advanced diagnostics” option, selecting the category “Console experiences” and “Console Audio Output Issues,” and provide detailed information about the issue.
**Games**
– Some titles may experience unexpected steering wheel vibration. A fix for this issue is expected in a subsequent update.
**Keyboard Button Mapping for Xbox Controllers**
– Changing keyboard language settings while the Xbox Accessories app is open will reflect the changes after quitting the app or rebooting the console.
**Networking**
– There have been reports of consoles not connecting to the network as expected on boot. Users experiencing this issue are encouraged to report it via Report a Problem. As a possible workaround, users can wait for a minute to establish the connection or restart their Xbox from the Power Center using the Xbox button > Restart console > Restart.
It is vital for users to utilize “Report a Problem” to keep Xbox informed of any issues they encounter. While it may not be possible to respond to everyone individually, the data gathered through this feedback is crucial for finding resolutions.

Official Xbox staff, moderators, and fellow Xbox Insiders are active on the subreddit to address concerns and provide assistance.
