Players can also turn filters on and off from the guide in <strong>Profile &amp; System &gt; Quick Settings<\/strong> without leaving the content when viewing.<\/p>\n<p>Update volume and audio output settings have also been added for all Xbox consoles, with options like &#8220;Mute speaker audio when headset attached&#8221; included in the Additional Options, along with a new Audio Testing &amp; Details screen.

Tags include features like adjustable difficulty, custom volume controls, color options, and input remapping.<\/p>\n<p>A host of other new accessibility features include a controller firmware update with better cross-device connectivity and reduced latency, as well as a new link sharing update coming to the Xbox mobile app soon. In addition, a new design for the Xbox Game Pass membership screen will now show players more detail about what&#8217;s included in each version before they decide to purchase.<\/p>\n<p> <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/latest-xbox-console-update-adds-new-game-accessibility-feature-tags\/1100-6498118\/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f\">Source: https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/latest-xbox-console-update-adds-new-game-accessibility-feature-tags\/1100-6498118\/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1493615,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","type":"","auto_type":false,"post":"","stream":"","stream_url":"","waveform_data":[],"duration":0,"bpm":0,"downloadable":false,"download_url":"","purchase_title":"","purchase_url":"","post-count-all":0,"like_count":0,"download_count":0,"editor_note":"","copyright":"","captions":[]},"genre":[95],"artist":[96],"mood":[],"activity":[],"station_tag":[5580,7271,3618,5208,7272,5446,6146,5380,3620,3765,6832,10916,7275,3857,6167,5710,9160,3741,3876,5597,5561,5396,5213,3768,11330,5401,3636,5258,3637,8031,6085,3640,7812,3859,5218,177,3772,5692,7708,5566,3643,3716,3646,7279,5223,3649,5476,3654,3656,3861,9798,3834,3757,3886,3672,3675,6158,3887,6962,8433,3782,3686,5889,3690,3871,3732,3849,3733,6475,5763,6412,7766,3872,3697,3734,3702],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station\/1493614"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/station"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1493615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1493614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=1493614"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=1493614"},{"taxonomy":"mood","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mood?post=1493614"},{"taxonomy":"activity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity?post=1493614"},{"taxonomy":"station_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station_tag?post=1493614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
