On October 8, Xbox released a significant update for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles, improving the detection of new game updates more quickly and consistently. As with most Xbox updates, this rollout begins with members of the Xbox Insiders program, who gain early access before the update becomes available to all users globally.

The Xbox Insiders program allows members to test upcoming features and preview OS builds before they are widely released. These updates initially reach the Alpha Skip-Ahead group, who provide feedback on any issues they encounter. Xbox users can join the Insiders program for free, starting at the Omega level, and gradually gain earlier access to updates as they progress through the ranks.




The latest update, version 2410.241003-2200, is now available to Xbox Insiders and includes several improvements. One of the most notable fixes allows consoles to detect updates for games and apps more efficiently. Previously, an issue had been causing delays in update checks, resulting in slow or stalled downloads. With this update, entertainment apps like Dolby Access and Xbox games should now download and install faster on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Additionally, the update addresses localization issues, though some text may still appear incorrectly as Xbox continues to refine language support.

  • Version 2410.241003-2200 was released on October 8 for Xbox Insiders.
  • The update improves the speed and reliability of game and app updates.
While this update resolves several issues, Xbox engineers are still working on known bugs from previous updates, including problems with friend request notifications and Xbox 360 friends appearing in both the friends and following lists.

Though the exact date for the full rollout is unknown, the update is expected to be available to all Xbox users before the end of October. Xbox typically releases one major update each month, with the previous update on September 25 introducing a feature allowing users to pre-download select game updates before their official release.
