The October update for the Xbox system is now available, bringing a number of important features to support volume control on the TV from the Xbox Series X|S console. Let's take a look at what's new for the Xbox system.
As you can see from the image, players can change the TV volume from the Audio and Music section of the Xbox console. By pressing the watermelon key directly on the Xbox controller, you can change or mute the TV volume without having to press the remote during gameplay.
The October update added player-requested features. Players can find this option in the Xbox console's settings, and can also adjust the power beep from this page.
Make your console your home Xbox so friends or family can access games and content when you're not signed in. Common Xbox consoles also allow players to play digital games offline, and some new settings screens have been added to make it easier for players to choose and change their favorite consoles when setting up a new Xbox.
After the October update, players will be able to configure their Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One consoles to use different power modes, and options have been renamed, depending on their preferences. "Standby" was updated to "Sleep" and "Energy saver" was updated to "Shutdown (energy saving)".
Xbox Key and Guest Key updated to Xbox PIN and Xbox Guest PIN. Players can use the PIN with any Xbox console they sign in to and restrict access to things like purchases and parental controls.
Starting today, a firmware update for the Xbox controller will roll out that includes a bug fix for the USB adapter that connects to the Xbox Accessible Controller, as well as additional bug fixes for the following Xbox controllers:
The Xbox app for Android and iOS supports editing the length of Xbox gameplay videos and sharing them with others.
Xbox Game Bar on Windows 11/10 adds support for importing video captured by the Xbox Game Recording Toolbar into Medal.tv. It is where users can edit, publish and share their favorite gaming moments.
