Microsoft has released a handy update for Xbox players who want to switch their input to their console. Now, you can just sit by and continue playing. There's no need anymore to use a TV remote to revert your current session to gaming.
Xbox Controller TV Input Switch Update
According to a report by Engadget on Wednesday, April 6, the new update can now allow you to switch to cable TV during the download process. It's hassle-free given the fact that you won't need your remote to operate the current input.
In this way, your movie-viewing moment won't be interrupted even though your Xbox Series S or X is downloading a game or patching an update. It should be noted that the HDMI-CEC support varies from one next-gen Xbox console to another.
Right away, if you want to activate this feature, explore the "Sleep mode and startup" settings section. You can see this option on the "TV & A/V power."
Indeed, this is an effective feature for those who find switching back to a console time-consuming. Although it's not a new update, it's still an interesting change for the Xbox button.
