  • Xbox players can also choose what to install when downloading a game on Xbox or PC, giving more control over the optional elements in relevant games like Call of Duty titles.

After spending some time in testing, previously announced Discord improvements are rolling out for all Xbox players. 

As shared via Xbox Wire on Wednesday, the Xbox August 2024 update is rolling out across consoles, bringing a couple of major updates to how Discord functionality works on Xbox Series X|S. These features were first announced back in July, and have been tested by players in the Xbox Insider Program.
