Touch to download: the May update for Xbox One is now available

We are in the middle of the month of May and we can already download the latest update that Redmond launches for the desktop console. This is the _May update_ for the Xbox One, an update that after having gone through Insiders users now reaches the general public.

The new version is numbered 1805 and brings a good number of new features to the Redmond console, either to improve gaming capabilities or to cover imbalances in certain functions that did not work as well well they shouldThe availability announcement was made on Twitter by Brad Rosetti and the best thing is that we get to know what this update brings before starting the download.

After the arrival of support for monitors with 1440p resolution, now support has arrived to be able to work with monitors that have different refresh rates . This is the case of those with monitors that work at 120Hz, which now have support, yes, in resolutions of 1080p and 1440p. If you have a 120Hz-capable display, now you'll notice a big difference in your games.

The possibility of grouping games and applications has also been added so that the content library now offers a better structured appearance.This is how they present “Groups”, a way to create different collections with all kinds of content, be they games or applications. We can assign a custom name to each group and add it to the Start menu to make it easily locatable."

"

Groups will appear in My games & apps, Home, and Guide. In addition, these Groups are linked to our account, so they will be automatically synchronized on various Xbox One consoles in which we are registered."

"

Together with the possibility that they already offered to share screenshots and videos directly to Twitter, with the May update they allow us to cut recent game captures directly from the Guide, so we won&39;t need to go to Upload Studio to edit the saved clips."

Family settings have been improved and thus they have added a tab called “Details” where parents can easily find and manage all the family settings on Xbox One. The goal is to parents can easily control the content their children access as well as be aware of activity reports or create screen time limits.

Added improvements to the Xbox Accessories app, now offering more affordable navigation for all users. In parallel, changes have been made to some of the button commands to move around the board. For example, you can now use the View button on Home to edit the order of blocks or reorder items within Groups.Pressing the “View” button on the main Guide tab will now also display additional capture options.
