There’s nothing better than a good software update to bring some life back into an operating system. Xbox Series X’s latest system update includes a stunning 4K dashboard. And, it looks like the October 2021 update is a treat for all the Xbox Series X owners out there.

Microsoft shared this incredible news in the latest official blog post that reads, “We know players with an eye for details and an appreciation for 4K wanted a crisp experience even when navigating the dashboard.”

“We’re excited to share that starting today, players with an Xbox Series X connected to a 4K display will see the dashboard natively rendered in 4K,” says the post.

This will completely change the visual side of things for the Home Screen, My Games, Guide Games, and App screen, making them sharper for better visibility.

The night mode lets players adjust the brightness as well as the hue of the display according to their choice. Players with sensitivity to bright screens can now adjust the brightness, especially during the night. This brand new night mode system works on a system level, including apps and games. However, this does not affect the performance, game screenshots, and gameplay clips.

Players can also create a personalized schedule for night mode. There is a new accessibility feature as well that lets you customize the light brightness in the middle of your wireless controller. Lastly, the company is also adding a quick setting menu to the Xbox guide basically so people can “quickly toggle accessibility features without leaving your game or app.”
