From the columns of Xbox Wire, the Microsoft social team informs us of the official start of the rollout of the February 2024 firmware update for Xbox Series
The first news reported by the Xbox Team concerns the arrival of the previously announced function that introduces ‘universal’ touch controls on the Xbox Series Once the firmware update has been installed, owners of an Xbox console of this or the previous generation can use their mobile device to remotely navigate the dashboard and play any type of video game without the use of a Bluetooth controller.
To accompany the ‘universal’ touch controls we then find one Recalibration tool for analog sticks of all official Xbox Wireless controllers (particularly useful for resetting the ‘dead zone’ and the sensitivity of the analogues according to your needs and any ‘minor problems’ resulting from wear of the pad).
No less important are the interventions made by Microsoft to add a new restriction option for account access, a feature that should make it easier for many players to access a shared Xbox console in public places like hospitals. The February Update of Xbox Series new search filters for Games and Apps within the menu, such as accessibility filters, supported languages and technical features related, for example, to the presence or absence of customized layouts of virtual controls in remote playback or on Xbox Cloud Gaming.
However, the function, currently in the testing phase, which promises to turbocharge downloads on Xbox consoles while playing, does not find space in the list drawn up by Microsoft.
