The update for gamers on the Beta ring of the Xbox Insider Program allows the Xbox Library section to be filtered by Accessibility Options, Supported Languages, and Technical Capabilities. The update also includes the option to sort the subscription tab, recently added for players to see the latest updates to the games they follow. The latest patch also gives players greater visibility on thegames that will be leaving Xbox Game Pass, with a smoother process of getting to the game’s store page.
