The Verge's Tom Warren has uploaded a video on Twitter, offering us a glimpse of the new Captures app.Īlongside the DVR improvements, players that have linked their Xbox account with Discord can now access a server and voice channel browser on their console via the Discord button within the Parties & chats tab. It's much the same as before, except its performance has been improved, the UI has been updated, and the ability to copy your locally saved (stored on your console) captures to an external drive has been added. The library is now called Captures and can be found within the My games & apps and Guide. Xbox Insiders in the Alpha preview ring have now received another update, this time overhauling the game DVR library itself. Yesterday, a public update added the ability to edit captures directly in the Xbox mobile app, adding further options for sharing your captures. Earlier this month, Xbox Insiders received an update recently that increased 1080p and 720p Game DVR bitrate by 30% on Xbox Series X|S. While it remains to be seen when those improvements will arrive or what they will be, it’s a relief to know that at least the features it does have aren’t being removed.Game DVR on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One has been in dire need of an overhaul for far too long, but it looks like Microsoft is beginning to improve its functionality. Microsoft has said on a number of occasions that it is looking into improving capture and sharing features on its consoles, which is an area where Xbox has consistently lagged behind competition.

It seems, however, that Microsoft has rethought those plans.Ī new update recently went live for Xbox Insider program members, which confirms that “users will again see the option to share content directly to Twitter.” Over on Twitter, Xbox Insider program lead Brad Rossetti has confirmed that same, stating that the change made in the previous beta update has been reverted in this one based on feedback from players. Earlier this month, it was reported that an Xbox Insider update had removed the option to share capture gameplay clips on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles directly via Twitter, suggest that a similar change was imminent for all Xbox console users.
