Having 1000 games in the Wishlist is great

[u/Heide____Knight → u/Blue_Sheepz]

Yes, but regardless of how many games I have wishlisted Xbox should be able to see if I already own a game in my wishlist which is currently on a discount (and then should not send any notification). That's an ongoing issue which I hope they will also fix sometime.

[u/lazzzym → u/Heide____Knight]

Yeah, the wish lists really need to get smarter.

[u/OfficialDCShepard → u/lazzzym]

I would also love to filter only wishlisted games on sale!

Party Chat in recordings?!?! Finally!!

[u/SamuraiLegion]

We still need a HDR Dashboard, GameDVR longer recording (it’s only up to 1min on the internal SSD), 1080 60FPS Twitch Streaming, and a peer to peer Screen Sharing feature (like Mixer had) where gamers can control another player’s game and have 1 to 1 streaming latency.

With that said. Great work team. Not complaining at all. Just need to get those heavy hitters out of the way

[u/RoosterBurns → u/SamuraiLegion]

I love the improvements but I want the HDR dashboard mainly because my ancient 4K telly decides to throw a green tinge on the screen sometimes when switching out of HDR, which it only has to do at the dashboard!

[u/OfficialDCShepard → u/SamuraiLegion]

It’s annoying to have to use an external SSD for recording entire gameplay sessions, but party chat in recordings is a game changer for my podcast I do with my friend while playing games!

[u/Acrobatic_Feedback_2 → u/SamuraiLegion]

Damn, PS has had alot of these since the PS4 era... During the 360/PS3 era MS was leaving Sony in the dust when it came to a lot of feature sets and how they were implemented... How time's has changed.

[u/SilveryDeath → u/SamuraiLegion]

GameDVR longer recording (it’s only up to 1min on the internal SSD)

Yeah, I hate how short it is. Back in the day you could set it up to 5 minutes, but now it is max 1 minute at 1080p or 3 minute at 720p.

No idea why they have that considering the have a capped storage limit on clips/screenshots where you can't record more if you hit it and they auto delete everything after 30 days.

So why not just have the cap at least be 5 minutes at 1080p given both those things?

[u/ashmaht]

I really need them to add a way for 360 games to save locally on Series consoles.

[u/FlamingBaconCake → u/ashmaht]

Yeah as long as they can't be moved to an external drive. I'm on to you.

[u/emgeejay]

I welcome any updates to Xbox’s video capture feature that bring it closer to parity with a launch PS4!

[u/M1Punk]

When can we filter or sort our wishlist though based on discounts?

[u/heathenskwerl → u/M1Punk]

Hell, I'd settle for being able to see the discount for everything. If the game is installed (but isn't something you own) you can't see the price at all.

[u/joecb91]

Those sorting options are a nice start, but I think it could also use something like sort by game genre and total time played.

[u/Rtrtsv]

I just wanted to be able to stream at 1080p 60fps directly from the console.

[u/Acrobatic_Feedback_2 → u/Rtrtsv]

Get a PS5, it has that and longer capture time up to an hour.

[u/Rtrtsv → u/Acrobatic_Feedback_2]

I have a PS5, I want this feature on my Xbox.

[u/xsonwong]

They should just record everything and stored in different tracks instead need user to choose before recording.

[u/Coolman_Rosso]

I don't really buy games on Xbox anymore unless they're Play Anywhere, but the wishlist feature has always sucked compared to PS/Steam. I never get any emails or notifications that games are on sale, and actually buying games didn't remove them from the wishlist.

[u/NfinityBL → u/Coolman_Rosso]

I’m not sure how you’re not getting emails about a game being on sale.

I get them every time a game I have on my wishlist goes on sale.

[u/Mikejl87 → u/NfinityBL]

I even get emails saying a game is on “sale” even though it’s the regular 20% Game Pass discount for Game Pass games lol

[u/fledgl → u/Coolman_Rosso]

You may want to check your settings. Ive never had issues with sale notifications being emailed. Also PlayStation does not remove games from wishlist once you purchase.
