Xbox is letting in more tester gamers into its Alpha Skip-Ahead Ring to test the latest feature of its consoles. The testing program was initially invite-only access to gamers but Microsoft is inviting more.
How is this possible? The tech company is inviting gamers to complete a survey which will receive as a gateway for its Alpha ring testing program. Xbox program manager Austin Olney says that “You will receive a notice on your console if you are selected to participate.”
“There are limited spots available, so completing the survey does not guarantee an invitation. You also might be selected for a different ring than what you indicated in the survey.”
Xbox November update for its console brings lower latency mode, quick controller swaps and accessibility tags. Dynamic Latency Input (DLI) reduces input latency when it comes to older Xbox one controllers.

Xbox gamers can now double-tap on the pair button of the controller to switch between PC and TV for gaming. This becomes available for older Xbox One and Xbox controllers, as the newer Series S/X controllers have had this functionality since launch.
The November update is basically a conjunction of features Microsoft has been testing in its insider program for the past months. There is a new colour filter update for Series S/X consoles that help gamers with colour blindness.
The Alpha survey is also available through the Xbox Insider Hub app. The company says that successful testers might be moved to another testing program aside from Alpha rings.
Admission into the new testing program according to Microsoft doesn’t matter what ring test gamers are in currently.
