Here's What's Included In The Xbox April 2023 Update

The Xbox April 2023 update begins rolling out to all users on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S later this week, although it's a fairly small one with just two major new features to take advantage of.

Here's a brief overview of what's on the way, with more details available at Xbox Wire:


  • Refreshed Xbox Search Experience

"Looking for your next favorite game, movie, and more? You can search for games, entertainment, and apps using the refreshed console search page. This includes a sleek new look, gallery-style results, visible filter categories navigable with RB/LB, the option to “search on YouTube” within the Movies & TV tab, and more."

  • Adjustable Active Hours Power Setting

"With the Xbox April Update, if you have the Sleep power option selected on your Xbox, you can configure your console active hours, which default to “always active” unless you change them. During your selected active hours your Xbox will boot quickly and be available for activities like Remote Play and mobile game installs. "
