Xbox May update arrives this week with exciting new features

The Xbox May update will go live this week, bringing with it several new features to make the Xbox OS better than ever. Check out what’s new in this latest monthly Xbox update.

See Discord friend’s Xbox gamertags 

You will now be able to see your Discord friend’s Xbox gamertags on your console while connected to Discord Voice. That is, provided your Discord account is linked to Xbox.

New sort and filter options on the Xbox Store

These new options on your Xbox console and Xbox.com allow you to sort and filter search results by price, subscriptions, supported languages, and accessibility features. Finding exactly what you’re looking for has never been easier.

Firmware update for Xbox Wireless Controller

This update includes bug fixes to improve battery efficiency as well as improving connection stability when using headphones with 4K, 120Hz, and VRR enabled.

New Rewards tab makes it easier to find Game Pass Quests

Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can earn Microsoft Rewards points by completing Game Pass Quests. These quests are now easier to find thanks to the new Rewards tab implemented in the May Xbox Update.

Quests can also be found by bringing up the guide by pressing the Xbox button, selecting Profile & system, selecting your profile, then selecting My rewards. You’ll still need to head over to the Microsoft Rewards app to spend points.
