The recent update announced for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S has been a hot topic among gamers, and now the new head of Xbox, Asha Sharma, has revealed an interesting detail about its development. According to her explanation on social media, several of these features were developed just two weeks ago based on comments sent by the fans themselves.

After presenting these new features, Sharma encouraged the community to keep sending suggestions and opinions, making it clear that user feedback will play a crucial role in the evolution of the console.

Highly Requested Features from the Community

Among the improvements announced for the Xbox system are several options that gamers have been requesting for a long time. For example, it will now be possible to create more groups on the home panel, increasing from two to a maximum of ten, which will allow for better organization of games and applications. Additionally, the option to use custom colors on the interface will be available, a feature designed to offer more personalization on the console.

Another notable new feature is the ability to disable Quick Resume on specific games, something that many gamers have been asking for to avoid problems with certain titles.

A Significant First Move for the New Head of Xbox

• Asha Sharma took over as head of Xbox and CEO of Microsoft Gaming at the end of February, so this system update has become one of her first visible decisions within the Xbox ecosystem.

Until now, many users felt that recent updates were more focused on PC and cloud gaming, but Sharma had already hinted that consoles would once again be a priority in this new era.

With these new features and the message from the executive herself, everything suggests that Xbox wants to strengthen communication with the community and accelerate the arrival of features that gamers have been requesting for a long time.
