Microsoft launches a new feature for ROG Xbox Ally X users. From today, members of the Xbox Insider Program can test Highlight Reels, which are automatic highlights of the most interesting moments of gameplay. This novelty is available through Game Highlights (Preview) on the game's page in the Xbox app on PC and does not require additional installations.
Automatic clips without leaving the game
Highlight Reels allows for the automatic recording of key victory moments, epic boss fights, or crucial actions without interrupting gameplay. The system runs in the background, and upon finishing the session, it generates a ready-made highlight that can be watched and shared.
In the initial testing phase, the feature supports selected titles, including:
Forza Horizon 5
Overwatch
Elden Ring
Fortnite
Among Us
Lies of P
Palworld
Microsoft promises that the list of compatible games will be expanded based on tester feedback.
How to enable Game Highlights?
To take advantage of the feature, you need to:
Join the Xbox Insider programme.
Enable background recording in the Game Bar settings (Settings > Gaming > Captures).
Launch a supported game.
The system will automatically save clips during gameplay, and the finished highlight reel will appear in the Xbox PC app. Microsoft encourages users to share their feedback through the Xbox Insider Hub and the programme's subreddit. It is based on this feedback that the company plans to develop the feature and expand its capabilities. This new feature aligns with the trend of simplifying the process of sharing gameplay – without manual editing or additional tools.
Highlight Reels on the ROG Xbox Ally X is another step towards automated content creation from gameplay. The feature runs in the background and generates ready-to-share clips that can be quickly shared. For now, it's a test for Insiders, but if the solution proves effective, it may reach a wider audience of Xbox users.
