Xbox Announces Big Backward Compatibility Update for Xbox Series X Players
✖
Xbox has announced a big backward compatibility update for Xbox Series X players, or more specifically, it s announced FPS boost, which will nearly double (and sometimes quadruple) the framerate of games available via backward compatibility. That said, if you re on Xbox One or Xbox One X, these improvements aren t coming to your classic games. According to Microsoft, this upgrade is only possible due to the power of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Further, right now, this isn t a universal upgrade, but will be a title-by-title upgrade.
A new tease from a prominent Xbox Series X insider has Xbox fans going wild with speculation. So far, 2021 has been a slow year for Xbox gamers. Last month, The Medium, an Xbox-console exclusive, released, but it failed to light the world on fire. Later in the year, Xbox fans have Halo Infinite [.]
Does the Xbox One Controller Have Updated Sync Features?
The Xbox One controller is one of my all-time favorites, but it doesn t look like it s been updated in a while.
If you’ve managed to get your hands on an Xbox Series X or S, you may have heard about the cool new controller sync features. If you haven’t, don’t worry, you’re not alone. The feature was absent from ads and hasn’t really been discussed until this week. Essentially, the new Pulse controllers make it easier than ever to quickly sync your controller between your console and PC. The big question on my mind is, “does that mean my Xbox One controller sync options have updated?”
New Xbox Series X Pulse Red Controller Released
✖
The new Xbox Series X Pulse Red controller has been released from Microsoft itself after being available to pre-order for weeks. Like the black, white, and blue controllers, the Pulse Red controller runs at $64.99, and as the name suggests, gives the controller a red-colored makeover. Beyond the aesthetics, however, there s nothing really separating this from the other standard controllers, but if you re a fan of red electronics, it s a great alternative to the other aforementioned ones.
Like the other controllers, the Pulse Red controller works with the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Windows 10, and Android devices. Meanwhile, Microsoft has promised that iOS support is still coming sometime in the future. Also, like the other controllers, the Pulse Red controller uses AA batteries, and comes with two that will provide up to 40 hours of gaming.
Microsoft Shares Concerning Xbox Series X Stock Update

The PS5 may be the hardest console to find in the world right now, but the Xbox Series X is also incredibly hard to find and has been since pre-orders first went live back in September. Going into 2021, many Xbox fans hoped this would change, but it s not going to, at least not anytime soon. During a recent earnings call, Microsoft confirmed it s expecting Xbox Series X supply issues to continue, and right now there s no indication when these shortages will come to an end.
During the meeting with investors, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella noted that both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are off to a strong commercial start, though right now they aren t divulging numbers, and that may be because they aren t as impressive as you d think given the supply issues. Whatever the case, Nadella confirms they are the fastest-selling Xbox consoles to date, but given there are two of them, it s hard to compare their initial sale number
