Xbox almost didn't happen. Find out why in this behind-the-scenes, six-part series that takes you back to the scrappy beginnings of Microsoft's video game console. It's the untold story of the people behind the box, glitches and all. https://www.xbox.com/power-on

Dang, the 20th anniversary controller looks fine. Even though I use PlayStation consoles I gotta say that Microsoft's special controller designs often look far more attractive than Sony's, IMHO.
Streamlabs is bringing their web-based streaming platform exclusively to Xbox consoles.
Streaming to Twitch is already possible on consoles but customisation is limited.
With Streamlabs Studio, streamers will be able to stream direct from their Xbox and utilise viewer engagement tools and overlays just like PC players, including alerts and widgets.
Streamers can access the tool through the Twitch app on console by selecting Streamlabs, and then access the customisation options before going live.
What's more, Streamlabs Studio uses cloud capture, so that streamers can also access the tools and control their streams directly from their phone or tablet without the need for capture cards or desktop at all.
"In the past, creating professional broadcasts and engaging viewers from a console has been challenging," said Ashray Urs, Streamlabs' Head of Product.
"With Streamlabs Studio, you can transform console gameplay into a high-quality live stream production with viewer engagement tools to interact with your community."
Streamlabs Studio is available for $4.99/month or $49.99 annually. There's also a free seven day trial.
For more information, visit the Streamlabs Studio website.

November Xbox Update: Color Filters, Audio Settings, Accessibility Feature Tags, and More
Team Xbox is excited to continue bringing new ways to make Xbox better, with you at the center, as we refine the experience and deliver brand new features based on your feedback. This month’s update includes new and improved color filters on Xbox Series X|S, updated volume and audio output settings, new accessibility feature tags in the Microsoft Store, a controller firmware update, updates to the Xbox app (mobile), and an updated Xbox Game Pass layout to help you choose the best subscription plan for you. In addition to new features, today’s update also has fixes reducing console shutdowns and improving stability of Xbox Series X consoles when playing titles such as NBA 2K22, FIFA 22, and Battlefield 2042. We will continue to support EA to improve Battlefield 2042 stability.
Updated volume and audio output settings for all Xbox consoles
A new streamlined audio experience is now available for all Xbox consoles with options like “Mute speaker audio when headset attached” in Additional options and a new Audio testing & details screen.
The volume and audio output settings have been reorganized to make relevant settings easier to access and help optimize your audio experience. To get started, go to Settings > Audio testing & details. You can check what your audio setup supports and reset if necessary.
Controller firmware update
The new firmware update for the Xbox One Wireless Controller with Bluetooth support, Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, and Xbox Adaptive Controller delivers next-gen features previously available only on Xbox Series X|S controllers, including better cross-device connectivity and reduced latency. We believe it’s important to maintain backward compatibility with Xbox accessories people already have in their collection to ensure we deliver the best gaming experience no matter how you choose to play.
Better cross-device connectivity – These controllers now support Bluetooth Low Energy which delivers better compatibility across devices and allows for better pairing experiences. You’ll be able to play wirelessly on Windows 10 & 11 PCs, iOS 15+, and Android devices with Bluetooth LE for Xbox remote play from your console or cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on the go. After installing the firmware update, these controllers will remember one Bluetooth host (e.g., smartphone) and one Xbox Wireless host (e.g., Xbox console), so you can seamlessly switch between previously connected devices with a simple double tap of the Pair button.
Reduced latency – We’re also bringing the innovation of Dynamic Latency Input (DLI) to our Xbox One Wireless Controller with Bluetooth support, Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, and Xbox Adaptive Controllers. Dynamic Latency Input delivers controller inputs more efficiently to your Xbox console for a more responsive gaming experience and seemingly instantaneous action.
Xbox app (mobile) -– Link sharing and trending
Several new features will be rolling out soon to the Xbox app. We want to make it as easy as possible to share your game captures with friends, wherever they happen to be. Link sharing is coming soon and lets you quickly get a link to your epic game moments and screen captures and share them anywhere across the internet.
