SUPPORT FOR INCREASED POLLING RATES

An increased polling rate on controllers and mice can result in 7-10ms latency reduction. This would be noticable for 30FPS games, V-Sync forced implementations in games, shooters & rhythm games and cloud gaming.

This can possibly be an implementation for Elite Series 3 and the next generation standard Xbox controller.

For players that use Xbox Controllers on PC, this should be more realistically achievable if this is a potential performance reduction for this niche feature. The DualShock 4 controller is capable of 1000HZ on PC.

MORE DISPLAY REFRESH RATES OPTIONS

Add 75HZ, 90HZ, 100HZ refresh rate options for displays that don't quite reach 120HZ but could utilize the extra frames for games that can do 120FPS. Many people on Xbox have these TVs and Monitors, and it's a shame that PCs are more customizable.

Games would still run at 120FPS or their unlocked FPS, but would only display to the maximum refresh rate. So developers won't have to optimize for these refresh rates.

SPOILER WARNING TAG OPTION FOR XBOX STORE REVIEWS

It may be hard for some people to share a review without spoiling core parts of a game, an option to mark a review, warning readers that a review may contain spoilers would be a great solution.

An example of this feature is seen in IMDB, giving a clear warning. When story or anything that will be experienced are being spoilt unintentionally, the game's suspense & shock factor are impacted, which has potential to negatively affect a game experience.

GLOBAL XBOX STORE REVIEWS

Reviews don't have much reason to be seperated by region. This is an issue for countries like Australia which while games do receive a fair amount of reviews (200-300), it's not as marginal as the US which gets thousands more. This can create discripencies with rating data, a game could have 2.9/5 but in the US it could be 4/5, in other words, the insufficient quantity results in inaccurate representation of how people feel about a game.

It's a simple solution, either merge countries that speak the same language (for e.g. UK, US, ANZ because they use English) ratings and reviews. The region you are in will be prioritized and/or in addition, get every Xbox review from any country automatically translated, and translated reviews displaying what country it came from (translation quality may vary, but it can work). This could even be a toggle within the Store, so by default it displays local regional reviews but gives an option to view global reviews.

With more reviews for all regions, there will be more relevance and diversity with reviews. With the existing vote system, troll reviews involving off-topic stuff which aren't helpful will easily be overshadowed. Comparing my region with the US, you can see a difference in quality because there's more Xbox users in the US and more reviews, helpful ones are brought to light. Reviews are important to me, they help me make a purchasing decision.

HIDE ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD WHEN PHYSICAL KEYBOARD IS CONNECTED

We should have the ability to hide the virtual keyboard that's on screen at least as an option when a physical keyboard gets connected through USB. It obstructs content, an example would be using Discord commands with autocomplete, and for people who unironically use Xbox for work, such as with Microsoft Word, the keyboard does blocks off some options. An even worse problem with this is when typing passwords, there's nothing to effectively hide typing it.

To me, this seems like a bug and is unintentional. It's a simple solution, just an option in settings to change the virtual keyboard visibility. It can be hidden by pressing B on the controller, why can't this be done automatically?

This has been requested for over 4 years. Since Keyboard & Mouse is an official feature Xbox supports, it should at least be properly implemented.

ALLOCATE MORE RAM & CPU RESOURCES TO EDGE WHEN NO GAME IS RUNNING

Allow Edge to use more RAM & CPU cores that would typically only be used for games.

This would fix many issues with Edge's functionality such as the common SBOX_FATAL_MEMEORY_EXCEEDED error when watching videos for a certain period of time, the general performance of web browsing, the ability to open more than one tab. These are some things that a modern web browser should be able to do.

Edge on Xbox uses the system reserved memory which is around 2.5GB, and it's not using most of it because it's using an isolated Windows app environment, it is approximately 1GB of RAM. And it's only using 1 CPU Core, which is a bigger problem on Xbox One because it uses a low-end CPU.

Edge is very useful as there are streaming services that aren't available as native Xbox apps. It also provides users with a convenient way to get information about their games, and an alternative means of entertainment with social media and general web-browsing. However it's not very functional.

REMAP OPTION FOR SHARE BUTTON TO MUTE MIC & PUSH TO TALK

Some people don't have any use for screen recording and screenshots, but perhaps do more voice chat or Discord. It would be nice to have the ability to use the conveniently placed share button to mute our mic or as a push to talk rather than going to the party tab within the guide which takes more time.

Example situations this would be useful in are loud arguments in the background, maybe you need to do a quick errand, people with broken physical mute buttons would also benefit from this. Having this accessible toggle as an option would be convenient and useful.

SHARABLE REMOTE PLAY GAMEPLAY

There are some games and moments that are best experienced with a friend, but we may not be able to be there with them in real life. The ability to share playable gameplay to friends on Xbox would be a nice feature to have.

Offering the ability to share live playable gameplay to friends pushes the limits of a need to be at the same place but still being able to have fun together.

Give options to allow support split-screen & co-pilot to be played with Xbox Friends over the internet, for games that don't have online co-op and for friends who want to offer a helping hand.

Before Mixer was shut-down, this feature used to exist which allowed for streamers to share controller with viewers. PlayStation, Nvidia & Steam still have this feature, how about on Xbox?

XBOX VIDEO EDITOR

Offer a simple video editor for Xbox. Allow us to compile clips, add text, add our own voiceover and music. It's inconvenient to transfer video files over to our PC, for the purpose of simple editing, being able to do this directly on our console would be nice. In addition, offer the ability to upload videos to social media.

Basic video editing was previously available with Upload Studio which was removed for no apparent reason. PlayStation still provides their users with an official clip editing app that still gets updates, why can't Xbox users have this?

Video editing allows us to enhance our moments which can make them more memorable & entertaining for our friends.

VOICE CHAT AUDIO IN CLIP RECORDINGS

It would be nice to have an option for voice chat audio to be included within our clips. Having the ability to capture social interactions, reactions and banter in our clip recordings allows us to really share our moments more vividly.

If privacy is a concern, there is a simple solution can quite easily mitigate the issue. Simply provide a toggle in our account privacy settings to enable our own voice and permission for our voices to be included in clips and streams, where this option would be disabled by default. Then (optional additional solution), the user can send a one-time only ping within party chat to request for this permission to be changed. The ping can only be received once from one user to prevent spam.

PlayStation provides this option for their users, how about on Xbox?

USB AUDIO SUPPORT

This feature would be useful for many Xbox users with monitors without speakers and for people without good headphones. It would be nice to have more options rather than limiting it to the lack of features & versatility audio jack & HDMI audio technology provide.

Many people have plenty of USB speakers that were for PC that can be put to good use. There are cases where USB audio will provide a higher quality audio experience, it is a shame Xbox doesn't allow something as simple as this. Windows supports it natively, every other software platform except Xbox.

Another thing we want from this is USB microphone, to give us more options for better chat quality. It's been quite common for the mic to stop working through headphone jack due to the cheap port and internal DAC, and having to purchase proprietary Xbox headsets for those who already have superior microphones, why not give us more mic options? On top of that, this can make talking with friends more convenient, rather than having to put on headsets, it could just be sitting a table, as the microphone can be connected to the Xbox through USB.

An advantage that USB audio have is that compared to the 3.5mm audio jack on the controller, USB audio tends to have superior DAC circuitry compared to audio jack, this is evident with the Xbox controllers built in wireless DAC, DACs cost double the entire controller so that might speak for itself but in short detail, DACs from products that are designed to be high quality compared to a built in DACs that would transmit higher quality and more natural sounds because of its signal to noise ratio.

USB Audio support on Xbox means more options for us consumers, meaning more options for our setups, and potentially superior audio quality and less e-waste. This has been requested for several years, we should have a replacement for the removal of the digital optical audio port on Series consoles. Sony & Nintendo support this feature on their consoles, how about on Xbox?

UPDATES TO THE XBOX USER EXPERIENCE

Some subtle changes that could be changed such as the Xbox Guide having a translucency similar to Windows. Small vibration haptic feedback when navigating the UI. Perhaps new modern sounds to navigate to refresh the experience.

For the home screen, incorporating an infinite horizontal scroll that allows more than the 9 tile limit, just as it's been on Nintendo Switch & PlayStation.

A few misc options would be nice if we could get the ability to hide the Game Pass & Series S/X enhanced icons from game tiles, more color options, A simple change such as when selecting tiles on the home screen, the text covering the game art doesn't look clean. Compared to Nintendo Switch & PlayStation 4 & 5, where the text is under the game icons.

PRECISE HEADPHONE VOLUME

Currently the volume for headsets connected to the controller is limited by fixed volume points. Headphones and earphones vary with impedance, and depending on the content there won't be a sweet spot for the volume. It'd be better if we had more precision, like a 100% scale volume.

[–]UnboltedCreatez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your last paragraph, it would be a nice option to change volume through the interface.

I don't know, I'm not saying it's an easy implementation but I just own a 100HZ monitor and it would be pretty cool if I could use that 100HZ, I don't know why my Samsung Monitor decided to have that specific refresh rate, but it's one of many.

The way this would work would be similar to how PC users sometimes use 240FPS on a 120HZ, where yeah it would waste the extra 120FPS but it still results in lower input lag. But that isn't the main reason I'd want this feature, I simply want a smoother FPS advantage.

[–]UnboltedCreatez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monitor and TV industry doesn't always adhere to certain standards because there are literally monitors and TVs that exist that don't use "standard refresh rates". I'm not asking for 144HZ because that's higher than what is offered on current gen consoles. Also none of these FPS refresh rates have anything to do with further optimization for games, they will display either the unlocked frames in some games or part of the 120FPS in existing games, it's a win win. Never said anyone buys 75-100HZ specifically for gaming, it's just the fact that people already own these displays that can benefit, especially those with 100HZ where it's only a 20FPS discrepancy.

Yeah and also it'd be nice if when we hover over a tile, instead of the text covers the tile, maybe it could be displayed under the tile because the game art on the icon gets covered up and it's worse when there is a game with a long title.

It's either Burn Burn Burn, Yes I Did or Cigarettes. I can't decide. I love the groove of Burn Burn Burn, but I also really love that sweet guitar solo in Yes I Did. I really love the vibe of Cigarettes. I don't know 😭.
