The Xbox Series X/S is a popular gaming console that has grown in popularity since its release in 2020. The folks at Xbox continue to work on bringing new features to make the gaming experience better for players.
In the latest update that was rolled out for May 2023, GameRant tells us that players can enjoy several quality-of-life changes that will enhance their experience.
Changes include the ability to see Xbox Gamertags of Discord friends, new sort and filter options in the Microsoft Store on Xbox.com, an Xbox Wireless Controller firmware update, and a simpler way to access Xbox Game Pass Quests on the Rewards tab.
Xbox Gamertags for Discord
The update includes four exciting new features, one of which allows gamers to check the Xbox Gamertags of their Discord buddies, making it easier to add Xbox friends. Users may now join Discord voice channels directly from their Xbox console, making communication more accessible.
New Sort and Filter Options for Microsoft Store
The Microsoft Store now includes new sort and filter options for pages that can be seen on Xbox.com and the Xbox console, making it easier to find Xbox games and entertainment.
To discover the best game for the user, the sorting and filtering options consider price, subscriptions, supported languages, and accessibility features. That is one cool feature.
Changes to the Xbox Wireless Controller
Bug fixes for unexpected slow battery drain in controllers with internal batteries, such as the Xbox Elite Series 2 and Xbox Adaptive controllers, as well as the Xbox rechargeable battery, are included in the Xbox Wireless Controller firmware update.

Xbox Game Pass Quests
Finally, the new update moves the Xbox Game Pass account's Quests section to the Rewards tab, making it easy to follow quest progress.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Console plan members can earn Microsoft Rewards points by playing Xbox Game Pass games. This will initially be available to a small number of owners.
Better Gaming Experience for Xbox Gamers
These updates are intended to enhance the user experience and make the platform more accessible. You can read more about the latest Xbox updates at the company's website.
With new Xbox titles on the way, sorting and filtering options in the Microsoft Store, and firmware updates for the Xbox Wireless Controller, Xbox is significantly improving user experience.
The Xbox Series X/S has been a great success, selling an estimated 18.5 million units in its first two years on the market.
This comes amid recent comments from Xbox boss Phil Spencer, who admitted how the console lags behind key rivals Nintendo and PS5.
