This update includes a number of improvements to Store, Xbox Guide and more. Microsoft shipped the Xbox One August Update in very late July, alongside the Anniversary Update for Windows 10. A small system update recently came out with a few fixes but updates the store to bring the shopping cart you can also do it from the site. This Dual Entitlement contains both Xbox One and Xbox Series X S versions. Win as one in EA SPORTS™ FIFA 21, with new ways to team up on the street and in the.
Today, Microsoft is announcing the August 2020 Xbox Update, and it's available now to Insiders. A lot of what's new includes part of the UI that we're going to see on the Xbox Series X. Indeed, both the Xbox One series and the upcoming generation both run the same Windows 10-based software, so a new UI for the Series X means a new UI for the Xbox One.
First up is improvements to the Guide, which you can see in the image above. Like previous updates to the Guide that we've seen, it's meant to be cleaner and easier to read. At the top, you'll see Home, My Games & Apps, and the things you were recently doing, and of course, you can customize what you see. There are also buttons at the bottom now for things that you might not be accessing all the time, but are still important.
There's a new notifications inbox, which can be opened by clicking the button on the bottom of the Guide. It combines messages, alerts, and more into a notifications feed, and it's coming to all of the Xbox apps soon.
There are some minor improvements to Parties and Chats with text previews, and there are individual volume controls for each Party member.
Microsoft is also adding tips and tricks in the guide, which are meant to make it easier to use for those using an Xbox console for the first time.
There's a new activity feed look. Everything should show up as the same size now, so you don't have to guess how your content is going to show up in the feed. Microsoft also said it made a bunch of other improvements in other areas.

This mostly includes the rest of the Xbox Series X UI. The whole look and feel for the Xbox Series X should roll out to Insiders this month, and that includes all Xbox apps as well. Profile themes are on the way, and you'll be able to sign into multiple Xbox devices at once.
© Provided by GamesRadar Xbox Series X pre-ordersXbox Series X pre-orders are currently sold out in both the UK and US. The lower prices (and lower-powered) Xbox Series S took a few extra days to sell out, but the initial batch has been snapped up now too. Scroll down a little and you'll see we've listed the retailers most likely to get the Xbox Series X and Series S stock back in again soon and it's very much worth checking in on them regularly to see if things change. We will of course keep updating this article too.
Getting hold of Microsoft's next-gen console has proven to be more difficult than we'd hoped. For example, most big retailers in the USA collapsed beneath the weight of visitors to their site. Those that held it together sold out within moments.
That's not to say you won't find Xbox Series X pre-orders again before launch though. In fact, UK retailer Box, got stock the day after everyone else. before selling out in roughly two minutes. If you're only after the cheaper model, you'll find all the information you need over on our dedicated Xbox Series S pre-orders guide, but we'll be sure to mention them here too.
No matter which system you want, don't give up hope if you aren't striking lucky right now. We'll be keeping an eye on all of the retailers below in the hopes of finding some Xbox Series X pre-order stock, just like we have been for PS5. Be prepared to move fast, though. If the initial pre-order phase - and the PS5 pre-orders - are anything to go by, what little stock comes in will sell out fast.
Pre-order Xbox Series X and Series S: retailer list
At the time of writing, all of these stores have now sold out of Xbox Series X pre-orders and likewise for the cheaper Series S model too. Random stock refreshes aren't out of the question though, so it's always worth checking in at the stores below, just in case you get lucky.
- US Xbox Series X retailers: Amazon | Microsoft | Newegg
- US Xbox Series S retailers: Amazon | Microsoft
- UK Xbox Series X retailers: Very |Amazon | Microsoft| Currys | AO | Box
- UK Xbox Series S retailers: Very |Amazon | Microsoft | Currys | AO | Box
What happened when the Xbox Series X pre-orders first went online?
Over the first few days the Xbox Series X pre-orders went online it was pretty frantic trying to keep pegs on what stores still had stock. If you don't believe the hype about how hard it's going to be to bag one next time pre-orders go live, just take a look at our then-live blog below.
Oct 19 - Sorry for the long gap there folks, but there hasn't been any fresh stock in the US or UK since last time. To make matters worse, some retailers have emailed their customers who did manage to order one to tell them that their new console might not actually be delivered on time for launch day.
Sept 29 - We've heard that customers that did manage to place an Xbox Series X pre-order have been emailed by some retailers warning that their console might not actually be delivered in time for launch. Amazon has warned of delays, but GameStop are coming off worse as it's said some orders might not be shipped until 2021. Still looking? There's been no sign of any fresh stock since that last batch on the 23rd sadly.
Sept 23 - UK update 11:55am: Look out everyone, seems like the technical issues of yesterday are back. Even though Box promised that they'd have stock for the Xbox Series X this morning, we've now heard that these have been delayed to some undisclosed point in the afternoon. Keep an eye on this page, we'll update you when we know more.
UK update 10:20am: We've heard that Box will be getting pre-orders for Xbox Series X and pre-orders for Xbox Series S in this morning, but so far we've not had any luck. Both console pages are still reading 'register your interest', with no live links as yet. We'll keep you informed!
Sept 22 - UK update 5:38pm: We didn't forget about you lot. The Series S is still available at a few stores, but if you want the proper next-gen experience, then you'll find the only place still taking Xbox Series X pre-orders is the Microsoft store.
US update 12:28 ET: No signs of the Series S on Amazon, but the Series X listing page is appearing regularly now, but the console doesn't to be available. Microsoft has stock of the Series S and the listing page of the Series X is live now, but we're struggling to hit the 'configure now' button which is the one you need to click to prep it for checkout. Keep refreshing and hoping folks. We'll get there.
US update 11:59am ET: Amazon might be on the road to recovery. This page sometimes shows a pre-order listing page (finally), but sometimes it loads as an error page. What a mess. Keep refreshing and cross your fingers folks. Microsoft is your next best bet so far.
US update 11:41am ET: Sigh. Microsoft, your inability to run a single webpage, isn't helping your incessant cause for me to use Edge as a default browser. Amazon? Nope you're still showing us pictures of dog-based error pages when we click on anything Series X-related.
US Update 11:20am ET: As soon as the start-time happened we basically saw all the big retailers collapse. Landing pages for the Series X and Series S either crashed or disappeared. We still haven't seen Amazon update its product page. Walmart, Best Buy and, Newegg all seem to have sold out already. Amazon and Microsoft not being able to anticipate demand and keep the website afloat is frankly appalling. Welcome to amateur hour, gamers.

UK Update 3:15pm: So the Xbox Series X UK stock is still gone by the looks of it, but the Xbox Series S model is hanging in there. Clearly though, most early adopters are keen for the full next-gen experience over the stepping stone that is the Series S. Anyways, the US Xbox Series X pre-orders are going live next in 45 minutes. Buckle up, America!
Wii64 download. Update 11:20am: It's looking like the UK Xbox Series X pre-orders have all gone for now, as even the Microsoft store isn't letting us add to basket. There's still lingering stock remaining at multiple stores for the Xbox Series S pre-orders though.
Update 10:48am:AO.com has joined the party for both consoles. Although it only seems to be selling the Series X and Series S in bundles with either Watch Dogs Legion, an extra controller or two (Series X models) or a 3-month Game Pass.
Update 10am: Look out everyone, it would appear that Very has Xbox Series X pre-orders available at the moment. The only catch is that you've got to get it with accessories like a controller or Xbox Game Pass, but that's no bad thing considering the value they offer. Plus, it's not like we can get the system anywhere else beyond Microsoft right now! If you're after the Series S, Very has that too, and you can currently buy the console without extras if you wish.
Update 9:14am: Amazon has stock of the Series S and Microsoft is still stocking both the Series X pre-orders and Series S ones too.
Update 8:59am: Currys is now saying it's sold out once you join the queue, but you can still actually queue for some reason. We'd hang in there for a little while longer if you can as stock has been coming in and out on a regular basis at other stores (and it did with PS5), so don't give up at every sold out sign you see today.
Update 8:47am: The Currys situation just took a turn, new buyers are looking at having to join the digital queue ahead of putting a PS5 pre-order down. We just hopped in at position.79,800.
Update 8:46am: Finally! The Xbox Series S model has appeared at Amazon (scroll past the Series X to see it). Still looks like the Series X is sold out there though.
Update 8:37am: Currys might be worth a shout again as a fresh click from one of our team saw them jump the queue (maybe it's been binned off) and able to put the £5 deposit down on a pre-order. Microsoft's site is still taking orders, but Amazon stock has gone back to unavailable for both models.
Dropbox download gratis italiano per windows 10. Update 8:19am: The Microsoft links seem to have started working now for both the Series X and Series S. You can even opt for the option where you save 20% on a second controller - although it looks like it's an Xbox One controller, which is compatible, but we'd hoped it would be a newer Series X controller really.
Update 08:09am: Ok, so Xbox Series X pre-orders have just gone live in the UK, and already we're seeing sites crash and struggle to allow us to add to basket. Amazon only seems to be stocking the Series X model so far with the Series S marked as 'unavailable'. We've not been able to add anything to our basket for Microsoft. And Currys infamous digital queue is back, we were in straight away, but still over 5000 places back in the line. Moments later one of our colleagues was over 9000 places back. Stay tuned for more and keep trying the links above.

Xbox Series X pre-order - UK
If you're based in the UK, it's worth keeping an eye on a wide range of retailers for more Xbox Series X pre-orders. That means Amazon, Currys, Box, Argos, John Lewis, and Game should be your first ports of call when looking for stock. Because they're the biggest retailers with the most clout, they're likely to get the most consoles in to sell. In other words, you stand a better chance of getting the console there than somewhere less mainstream.
It's a good idea to think about in-store collections, too. Many of us will be at work on the console's Tuesday 10 November release date, so being able to grab your order in person (safely) avoids any awkwardness of your Xbox not being delivered.
To make sure you can put in your Xbox Series X pre-order as quickly as possible, we've gathered up some quick links to the retailers most likely to get stock as mentioned earlier and also below.
