Known Issues for Beta

We understand some issues have been listed in previous Xbox Insider Release Notes. These issues aren’t being ignored, but it will take Xbox engineers more time to find a solution. We appreciate your patience at this time!

Audio

  • Users who have Dolby Atmos enabled and console display settings set to 120hz with 36 bits per pixel (12-bit) are experiencing loss of Dolby Atmos audio in some situations.

Home (Experiment)

  • Some users may see a different Store icon on the dashboard than what normally appears.
  • Some users may see their content blocks reset randomly during the experiment.

Store

  • Some users are reporting issues making in-game purchases in Fortnite. If you are encountering this behavior please submit feedback from the console.

Dolby Access

  • Users are unable to complete the setup for Dolby Atmos in the app and the app is not recognizing Dolby Atmos headphones.
    • Note: This is an issue with the Dolby Access app and the app developers are aware and investigating.
