Microsoft has been quietly updating the Xbox experience lately. Yesterday, we reported about Xbox insiders testing a “Free with Xbox” tab in the dashboard’s Full Library view.
This new section automatically separates game demos and time-limited trials from owned titles, giving the main collection a cleaner look without the need for constant manual curation.
Now, there’s more good news for all Xbox players, not just Insiders. Yesterday, Microsoft released a fresh system update for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles with OS version 10.0.26100.5362.
The update adds Xbox Play Anywhere filtering, letting you quickly find games that support play across console and PC via a new “Capabilities” filter.
There’s also a Play History feature, which groups titles you’ve recently played on other devices right on your Home screen. This eventually makes it easier for you to jump back into cross-platform sessions.
No wonder these aren’t major upgrades. But it’s a sign that shows Microsoft is putting more focus on practical usability upgrades, which make daily Xbox life smoother.
