Xbox Requests: Capturing all your ideas, across all of Xbox, every week!

From PC gaming to Xbox consoles, and everything in between, if you have an idea or feature request that you want to share with Team Xbox, you've come to the right place! Add your requests below, upvote your favorites, and discuss and help refine the ideas of others here all week long.

Tips:

• We want your ideas for PC gaming just as much as we look forward to hearing your ideas regarding consoles, cloud gaming, mobile devices, TV's, VR, peripherals, and anything else you might think of; if you have an idea for Xbox, we want to hear it!
• Join your voices together! Try searching for others who have posted the same idea first and upvote theirs instead of posting your own, then feel free to respond to their comment to discuss or refine the idea further.

Rules:

• Requests for additions to backward compatible titles are subject to removal as the program ended in 2021 per the announcement here.
• If you have multiple ideas, be sure to post them individually rather than grouping them all into a single post.
• Please remember to keep the discussion civil and on topic! If you need a refresher, check the Subreddit Rules.

Be sure to check out the Xbox Insider Program Community Update November 2023 to learn more about what we're up to and what the future might look like!

Note: We've received a few questions about this recently, so we want to communicate it here as well. These threads are meant to be a way for the Xbox Insider Community to express their ideas and showcase what features are important to them. However, it is not an exclusive list of work items for the various engineering teams. This means there is no guarantee of implementation for any feature that is upvoted in these threads. The Xbox Insider Team communicates the feedback to the other teams that would be responsible for implementing them, but this is just one lever those teams might utilize to make a decision about where resources are applied. This is not meant to discourage voicing your opinion. We are striving to be more transparent with our processes, and want to reset expectations surrounding Feedback Fridays. Thanks so much for everyone that continues to participate!

While you can also find the top requests from all previous weeks in the Xbox Requests Recap, here are the top three Xbox Requests from last week:

• Remove advertising on Home
• More options to customize Home
• Remove bitrate limit for Xbox remote play

I tried the OSUs but none of them work because I was on a beta version of the Xbox menu (22000.3542.amd64fre.xb_flt_2202c0.220202-1734) which doesn't allow OSU updates. I've tried resetting but it brings me back to the same error. Any other ways I can fix this?

I took my Xbox controller to a friends house and connected it to their Xbox to play some games, when I got back home to play on my Xbox the controller obviously wasn’t synced so I sync it and it connected fine but after when I shutoff my Xbox my controller stayed on (and connected to it). I looked at the Xbox app and did remote play and I saw that my controller was still moving around stuff. Same thing also happens if I use a different controller. Any fix? On Xbox preview beta and last update was on 12/10/2024 UPDATE: FIXED ITSELF. SOLUTION: WAIT IT OUT FOR LIKE A HOUR

I have a 2.1 channel Hisense Hs218 Soundbar. Everything else sounds fine like firestick or live telly. When I set to stereo uncompressed or dolby digital, it sounds low, flat and crap. Sometimes there's audio thats meant to be there on a game that you can't hear. Pls fix it Xbox.

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/xbox-series-x-november-update-broken-sound/6dc6341b-2a52-4e30-8a34-275bb361b803?hl=en-GB

Still not fixed since November 2021

Also App volume s are normal level like YouTube Spotify and the boot up is same level or louder but the Menu and games aren't the same level wise. Volume leveling is bad on my xbox

"Hi! Last week, after an update of my Xbox Series X from the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring of the Xbox Insiders program, my console started having trouble turning on. When powering up, it would instantly shut off until I kept trying. Today, it updated again and now gives a direct error (E100 00000703 80910002). Supposedly, it’s a hardware issue, but it feels like too much of a coincidence.

SO version is 26100.3257.amd64fre.xb_flt_2502ge.241126-2200

Do you know if I can leave the Insider program through the app, and if I then apply the OSU update, would it work? (Insider-enrolled consoles don’t boot when installing the OSU, but I’m not sure if it performs any kind of online verification.)

Any other ideas? I’ve already tried a factory reset, but it keeps trying to apply the update and eventually fails (stopping at 61%).

Thanks!"
