Xbox Insider Release Notes – Omega (2308.230814-2200)

Hey Xbox Insiders! We have a new Xbox Update Preview coming to the Omega ring. It’s important we note that some updates made in these preview OS builds include background improvements that ensure a quality and stable build for Xbox consoles.

We continue to post these release notes, even when the noticeable changes to the UI are minimal, so you’re aware when updates are coming to your device. Details can be found below!

Xbox Insider Release Notes

System Update Details:

  • OS version released: XB_FLT_2308ZN\25398.1730.230814-2200
  • Available: 4 p.m. PT – August 17, 2023
  • Mandatory: 4 p.m. PT – August 18, 2023

Note: This update may not occur automatically before it has already become mandatory. You can always find the most current update as soon as it is available by opening the Guide > Profile & system > Settings > System > Updates.

Remember: Newly enrolled users in this ring are not guaranteed to receive all early updates, but they’ll receive the update prior to the GA release. Additionally, a small subset of users may remain on their current GA build once they enroll until the next system update becomes mandatory for the public. Visit the Xbox Insider Program FAQ to learn more.

New Features and Experiences

We have exciting news! Omega users can expect something new coming to their Xbox Update Preview.

My Games & Apps

We have re-added the additional warning badges in My Games & Apps for installed games that you don’t have a license for, and for games that will need a disc inserted before they are playable.

Reactive Voice Reporting

Player safety is an area of deep investment at Xbox. We’re committed to making Xbox a safe, welcoming place for all players. If you experience or witness an incident that violates Xbox’s Community Standards, you can capture a video clip the moment it happens and report it to the Xbox Safety Team up to 24 online hours later for content moderation and review. You can start this new reporting experience by clicking “Report in-game chat” in the Parties and chats tab. Learn more here.

Xbox Game Pass

Xbox Live Gold members in the Omega ring will be able to preview Xbox Game Pass Core beginning today! To learn more about the changes you will begin to see, visit: Xbox Insiders – Help bring the new Game Pass Core experience to life.

A random subset of users will also see we’ve added additional information so you can find all the benefits that come with your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription in one place! If you haven’t joined yet, you can also view any plans available to you. Learn more from Home > Game Pass > See all benefits.

Fixes Implemented

Thanks to the hard work of Xbox engineers, we are happy to announce the following fixes have been implemented for this build:

Guide

  • Fixed an issue where Guide could become unresponsive for some users.

System

  • Various updates to properly reflect local languages across the console.
    • Note: Users participating in Preview may see “odd” text across the console, for more information go here.

Known Issues

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

Audio

  • We have received reports of users experiencing intermittent issues with audio across the dashboard, games, and apps.
    • Note: If you experience issues with audio, please submit feedback via Report a Problem immediately with the “Reproduce with advanced diagnostics” option, then select the category “Console experiences” and “Console Audio Output Issues”.
    • Be sure to include as much information as possible:
      • When did the issue start?
      • Did you lose audio just in the game/app or system audio as well?
      • Does changing the audio format resolve the issue? If yes, what was the format before and after?
      • Does rebooting resolve the issue?
      • What does your setup include? Equipment, layout, etc.
      • And any additional information you can provide to reproduce the problem.

Keyboard Button Mapping for Xbox Controllers

  • In the Xbox Accessories app, the “Learn More” button is currently not functional.
  • 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.

My Games & Apps

  • Titles in collection may incorrectly appear with a “trial” tag.

Reactive Voice Reporting

  • This feature is currently limited to English language in US, CA, GB, AU, NZ, and IE regions.

Make sure to use Report a problem to keep us informed of your issue. We may not be able to respond to everyone, but the data we’ll gather is crucial to finding a resolution.
