What you need to know
- Microsoft just shipped a preview update to Xbox Insiders in the Omega ring.
- Following the update, it’s possible to manage subscriptions on Xbox consoles.
- The update brings Xbox consoles to build 2304.230323-1700.
It will soon be possible to manage subscriptions directly from Xbox consoles. In fact, it’s already possible if you’re an Omega ring Xbox Insider. Microsoft just shipped an update that adds the option to manage subscriptions. Since the Omega Ring is the most stable Xbox Insider ring, there’s a good chance that the functionality will make its way to general availability in the near future.
The update also includes a couple of fixes, including some updates that help consoles reflect local languages correctly. Here’s everything that’s new, as outlined by Microsoft (opens in new tab):
New Features and Experiences
Subscription Management
Beginning today, you can now change your plan or update the recurring billing status directly from your console. To get started, head to Settings > Account > Subscriptions.
Fixes Implemented
