One of my favorite features of the XBOX Nano Controller is that it supports background firmware updates, thanks to its new SoC. These updates will install in the background while you play and wait until the controller is turned off (or rebooted) to install. Less interruptions, more gaming. You can see them in action by going to the "..."/"More options" page of the XBOX Accessories app and looking in the top left corner.

Love this update to My games & apps from @neonepiphany and team: ✨ “In My games & apps, you can now display games with rich poster-style artwork for a more immersive library experience and customize your view by choosing which status icons are visible for a cleaner look.” ✨
It's been two weeks, what's new?

1,700 hours on Overwatch and never played Lifeweaver. I started recently and he’s my new favorite Support. Plays like this are so fun to pull off 🔥

ICYMI - We’re updating the XBOX Accessories app to show an image of the specific XBOX controller you have connected. It’s no longer just a plain black controller! 🎮 This will make it easier to confirm you’ve got the right one selected, but more importantly, you can admire the design of your favorite controller on screen as well as in your hands! Starting today, this is available for select Alpha Skip-Ahead XBOX Insiders, with broader availability coming later. Enjoy!

Finished up Vampire Crawlers yesterday. Highly recommended! I don’t know how they did it, but it’s more addictive than Vampire Survivors 😅

I’ve been on a Resident Evil catch-up marathon lately. Finished RE7 a few months ago, then dove into RE4 Remake, and rolled credits on Requiem last night. They are all great games with page-turning narratives. RE Village in Game Pass is up next but I’m taking a break first 😅

From the new Overwatch characters, Emre is really fun to play. The 3 round burst weapon and double grenade combo just speaks to the Halo player in me.
