When the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S released back in 2020, they were both missing many features players had come accustomed to during the PS4 and Xbox One generation and anticipating with a new generation of console gaming. Over time, both Sony and Microsoft have been slowly padding out both consoles with these features and more.
More specifically, Microsoft is finally testing the ability for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S to remember more than one Wi-Fi networks. For some, this is an irrelevant feature, however, for anyone who travels with their Xbox console, this a substantial quality-of-life feature. Right now, it is only in testing, so there is always a chance this will not come to the public, but typically once something hits the testing phase it is an eventuality that it comes to the broader base. When though, is the question. Usually, there is several months between this testing phase and a broader release, but sometimes the period in between these two events drags on for longer. In this instance, there's no way to know which case we will have.
It's also been revealed that Xbox is once again testing more changes to the Xbox dashboard. This time it has added the ability to enable game art backgrounds with any dynamic or regular background. This is an improvement from the current optimization, which forces you use to the default background to get the game art feature.

Microsoft previews new Xbox Cloud Gaming interface with social features and UIMicrosoft is previewing a new Xbox Cloud Gaming interface today that includes the social features and UI you’d normally find in the Xbox dashboard. The new interface includes access to a web version of Xbox party chat, so you can use a browser to join a call with friends instead of the dedicated Xbox desktop and mobile apps. The updated web interface also includes the ability to find and manage Xbox friends, send messages, view user profiles and achievements, and even access notifications. Microsoft is testing this initially with Xbox Insiders before rolling this interface out to all Xbox Cloud Gaming users. As this new interface is part of Xbox Cloud Gaming, most of it will also be available on smart TVs and Meta’s Quest VR headsets, too. The Xbox party chat feature on the web isn’t currently available on smart TVs just yet, though. The Xbox Cloud Gaming interface had already been modeled on the Xbox console Home screen UI, so additional Guide features is a great improvement. Most of this functionality was only available once you launched an Xbox cloud game, so being able to start an Xbox party chat on the web and have it continue between game sessions will be very useful for Xbox Cloud Gaming players. As always, Microsoft is only previewing this new interface today, so it could be some months before all Xbox Cloud Gaming users will be able to get access to these new features
