E3 2018: All Things Xbox

It’s that time of the year again: E3 is less than two months away! That means now is the perfect time to share more of our plans for one of the gaming industry’s biggest annual events.

Here at Xbox, we’re hard at work getting ready for the big show. We’ll be kicking things off with our annual Xbox E3 2018 Briefing, which you can watch live beginning on Sunday, June 10 at 1 p.m. PDT. During the briefing, you’ll have a chance to check out everything from in-depth looks at previously-announced games to trailers for our unannounced titles coming in 2018 and beyond. You can watch the Xbox E3 2018 Briefing live beginning at 1 p.m. PDT on Sunday, June 10 on the official Xbox Mixer Channel or on the Mixer app for Xbox One and Windows 10.

This year will mark the first year that our hot new show, Inside Xbox, will be airing during E3. Inside Xbox: Live @ E3 will air Monday, June 11 at 3 p.m. PDT and will feature a livestream full of exclusive announcements, game demos, interviews, giveaways and more. We’ll also be streaming live on Mixer every day throughout E3 2018 starting from Tuesday, June 12 through Thursday, June 14, so keep an eye out for our full schedule coming soon.

The new avatar design looks pretty neat. I enjoyed making an avatar on my 360 and Wii / Wii U and I miss not having anything like that on my PS4. Something simple but slick; not something like Home on the PS3.

Sounds like Microsoft are doing a Nintendo this year if Inside Xbox are doing their thing during the active days.
I liked what I'd seen of the second episode, so I might see what's happening on occasion.

Maybe Rare moved everyone on to Sea of Thieves to get it out the door and get some content post launch made.

Hi guys, looking for recommendations for a decent game to play on xbox one? Perhaps RPG/action something to get addicted to but not too heavy on story (not a fan of elder scrolls games)

The Witcher 3 comes to mind but it is rather heavy on Story.

Assasins Creed Origins is very good and story is great but can be avoided by doing lots of side quests.

Can't think of an RPG that's not 'too heavy on story'.

Dragon's Dogma is pretty light on plot if you're after a fighty RPG. It's a remaster of the 360 version but the combat is great.

Give Warframe or Path of Exile a try.

Are 4K movie/TV rentals/purchases available on Xbox One S and X via the Xbox store? Incredibly Sony don’t offer this on Pro.

Just had a quick go on PUBG. Really think this and Fortnite are overhyped and cannot see the appeal as I find them boring am I missing something?

Once released do we have to have an avatar running around the XBM or are they entirely optional?

Well there's a blast from the past, hello Prototype. Witcher 3 as Photek says, heavy on the story especially with the expansions but is without a doubt the best on current gen and the world of Geralt of Rivia is fantastic.

May Xbox Update Adds Groups, High Refresh Rate, and More

E3 is coming up quick, and the team is hard at work on a bunch of exciting new things that we can’t wait to show you in June. But before E3 arrives, we still have a chance to add in a few more exciting features onto your Xbox One that we think you’ll enjoy. Some of these build on the new features we introduced last month; others are new ideas that the team has implemented for you, the Xbox Insider community. Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect in the coming weeks:

120Hz Comes to Consoles
In April, we added variable refresh rate, 1440p resolution support, and auto low latency mode. But we aren’t done just yet. In May, we’re adding support for additional panel refresh rates. Gamers with gaming monitors and televisions that support a 120Hz refresh rate can now turn on 120Hz support for 1080p and 1440p output resolutions. This high refresh rate option means you can now take full advantage of displays with 120Hz capabilities.

Group Your Games and Apps
Our fans asked for new ways to organize their library of games and apps. In response, we’re introducing a powerful new enhancement to Pins which we call “Groups.” With Groups, you can create multiple collections of content made up of anything from within My games & apps. You can also assign custom names to each Group, organize and order them, and add individual Groups to Home. Groups will appear across My games & apps, Home, and Guide, so you’ll be able to access your Groups at a moment’s notice. Best of all, Groups are tied to your account, so they will automatically sync across multiple Xbox One consoles. We’ve started you off with a Group that should look very familiar — your Pins!

We’re doing something a little different with the rollout of this feature: Groups will not initially be enabled for everyone in the Alpha ring. In order to gauge interest and collect feedback, we will instead gradually roll out Groups over time within Alpha.

Trim Clips Directly in the Guide
Last month, we added a new sharing feature that helps gamers upload their captured screenshots and videos directly to Twitter. This month, we’re improving on the sharing experience even further; you can now trim your recent game captures directly from the Guide, so you won’t need to switch to Upload Studio to make a quick cut to your saved clips.

Improved Family Settings
Xbox One is also helping parents keep their family safe with updates to family settings. We’re adding a “Details” page where parents can easily find and manage all family settings on Xbox One. Parents will easily be able to tell which family and content settings are set up and configured. Important setting that are turned off or require attention will be flagged as well. Some settings, such as activity reports and screen time limits, can only be accessed through the web: We’ll identify those settings and provide links where parents can easily set them up.

Improvements to the Xbox Accessories App
We’re also modernizing the Xbox Accessories app to make it easier to navigate, and to look and feel more consistent with the rest of the Xbox One dashboard.

Intuitive Button Commands
We’re also making changes to some of the button commands throughout the dashboard. For example, you can now use the View button on Home to edit the order of blocks or reorder items within Groups. Pressing the “View” button on the main tab of the Guide will also now display additional capture options. If you group your collections in My games and apps by letter, you will now need to select a letter to view all groups.

As usual, a subset of users may also see additional experimental features that we didn’t mention here. These features are only enabled for a portion of the Xbox audience to gauge interest and collect feedback.

I never got round to buying MGS V, so that's a nice one. And I'm very pleased to hear that we're finally getting a means of sorting games, with Groups.

Loves us all since 2008
