Microsoft just revealed everything that's coming to the Xbox consoles for its October 2021 update. Although the latest update is not as extensive compared to the previous ones, there's still a fair few features that are worth noting.
What's new in the Xbox October 2021 update?
The October 2021 update for Xbox consoles gives Xbox Series X owners a natively rendered 4K dashboard that makes texts easier to read and images look sharper. This is a significant upgrade from the upscaled 4K dashboard that Xbox Series X owners once had. Meanwhile, the Night Mode is available on all supported Xbox consoles. The new feature lets users adjust and reduce the light coming from the Xbox console, controller, and display, which is a godsend for when you're playing in the dark in the middle of the night.
The Night Mode update also lets players trigger the new feature on schedule. This way, the console itself will dynamically switch between Light and Dark themes depending on the time of the day. There are presets that let you time the themes with the sunset and sunrise or you can also create your schedule.
