Xbox Series X Major Upgrades
In a blog post released by Xbox, there are several new features brought by the latest Xbox Series X October update. Some of the latest additions include the Xbox night mode, quick settings and 4k dashboard.
Xbox Series X Night Mode
This Xbox Series X system upgrade is a group of settings that allows Xbox users to adjust the light sources to keep rooms dark at night and help those gamers who are sensitive to light. This feature can dim and customize the power button of the controller, the power light on the console, as well as the light from the connected display.
If the user is also a movie fan, this feature allows them to experience theater-like total darkness when watching a movie. In addition to this, Xbox night mode also includes a customizable blue-light filter for displays. Keep in mind that the blue-light filter is specific for Xbox Series X|S consoles.
Aside from this, the night mode feature also allows users to schedule switching between light and dark themes, but users can also manually toggle night mode as well as set it to the sunrise and sunset schedule.
To use this, head to "Settings," choose "Accessibility," and select "Night mode." In case users will be using this feature to watch a movie, go to "Settings," find "TV and display options," then choose "Night mode."
Xbox Series X Quick Settings
This added feature allows users to quickly toggle the accessibility features without leaving the app or the game. The quick setting feature also benefits families which are sharing consoles and has different accessibility needs.
Through the quick setting feature, users' accessibility needs can be easily switched on or off depending on the person using the console.
