Microsoft has begun rolling out another update for participants in the Xbox Insider program. The new features aim to make it easier to record gameplay, manage cloud saves, and browse achievements. Some changes are already available to selected testers, and the rest will be gradually rolled out to additional Xbox console users.

Xbox will let you record voice chats and recover older game saves

One of the most interesting new features is the ability to include voice chats in gameplay recordings. The feature is currently available to members of the Xbox Insider Alpha Skip-Ahead program and lets you decide whether party or in-game voice chats should be saved when recording. Importantly, each participant can choose whether their voice may be included in the recording, giving greater control over privacy. Microsoft is also introducing the long-awaited ability to restore earlier cloud saves. The feature is already available to testers and initially supports Forza Horizon 6. Users can browse available save versions and restore an earlier game state directly from the console. In the future the feature will be expanded to additional titles. This is especially useful for players who accidentally overwrite progress or run into save issues. Microsoft says support for more games will be added in future system updates.

Bigger wishlist and new ways to browse achievements

The update also brings changes to the achievements section that make it easier to track progress in games. Testers can now sort their library by game name, percent complete, earned Gamerscore, or number of unlocked achievements. Each of these filters works in both ascending and descending order, making it easier to find titles of interest or check which games are closest to completion. Microsoft also has good news for all Xbox console users, as the limit of items on the wishlist has been significantly increased. You can now add up to 1000 games, which makes it easier to track upcoming releases, promotions, and titles you plan to play in the future. The company notes that the new features will be rolled out gradually to successive groups of testers and will then be made available to all players. The Xbox Insider program remains the place where users can be the first to try experimental features and provide feedback to the system’s developers.
