Xbox has been on a roll lately, and just last month it rolled out a batch of new features to Insiders that players had been asking for.

Those updates covered customization, Quick Resume, pinned groups, and more. Now, just one month later, that same update has made its way to the public.

So, let’s go over everything included and what you can expect from this latest Xbox system update.

Xbox’s latest update for April 2026 is here, and it brings a range of useful additions. Players can now access improved customization, especially around profiles, with new custom colors and badges that others can see. To change your color, head to Settings > General > Personalization > Customize the guide.

One of the biggest changes is a long-requested feature. You can now disable Quick Resume on a per-game basis. This is especially useful for titles that don’t work well with the feature, particularly those that require a constant internet connection.

There are also a few smaller but welcome additions. User Selected Resolution and a Network Quality Indicator have been added to give you more control and visibility over streaming quality. Xbox has also introduced a Play History update, adding a new tab in My Games & Apps that shows your most recently played titles.

Xbox isn’t quite done there. You can now pin up to ten groups to your Home screen, up from just two, giving you much more flexibility. On top of that, a new save file indicator has been added to Game Hubs, making it easier to see whether your progress is synced across console, cloud, or PC.

Now that’s a lot, but it’s not all over on X (formerly Twitter), Xbox Engineering Lead @neonepiphany also confirmed Xbox has fixed some bugs, specifically an issue that prevented users from checking for game updates.

So, that’s everything included in this update as far as I can tell. Based on this release alone, the turnaround from Insider builds to public rollout looks to be around one month, which isn’t too bad. Xbox is also currently testing updates to achievements in its Insider builds, so there’s more on the way.

What do you think of Xbox’s update turnaround? Are you happy with how things are shaping up, or do you think there’s still more to be done?
