Latest Xbox Console Updates Include Extremely Belated Profile Badge if You Bought an Xbox One Back in 2013
New Xbox console features include a special profile badge if you forked out for an Xbox One on day one back in November 2013.
Microsoft has announced several updates for Xbox Series X/S consoles, including improvements to the home and game library screens, as well as more control over local game saves. However, the most surprising update is a "profile badge" for owners of the Xbox One Day One achievement, which was available to those who purchased the console in 2013.
This badge can now be viewed on Xbox profiles, marking a belated recognition for those early adopters. The profile badge update is part of a broader refresh that includes high-resolution artwork and descriptive text for badges. Additionally, users can now customize their Xbox home screen by removing items from the "Recent Games and Apps" list, including the Play History tile.
Another feature allows users to hide an immersive background mode that centers the background behind all Home UI elements. For those looking to free up storage space, there's an option to browse local game saves and remove any taking up too much room. The local copies will be replaced with cloud versions when the game is loaded next.
The update also includes the ability to remove purchased games from the purchase wishlist. These features are rolling out to Xbox owners today, with most arriving gradually as they are tested and approved for wider distribution.
