June Xbox Insider Community Update

Level Up Your Insider Game!

Ready to power up your Xbox Insider experience? We’ve got some epic updates and exciting news to share with you. Grab your controllers and let’s dive in!

Introducing the Xbox Insider Badges

We’re thrilled to announce a new way to recognize and reward our dedicated Insiders. We’re rolling out gold, silver, and bronze badges for excellent participation! These badges are the ultimate achievement and will be awarded to those who consistently go above and beyond! These badges will be rare, but anyone can earn these badges with good participation. Keep joining playtests, completing activities, posting on the subreddit, and submitting excellent feedback

Gold Badge Spotlight

The Gold badge represents the highest level of recognition in the Xbox Insider Program. In this first round, we’re proud to honor bowski477, aka Scratch, WPAK, and others—our dedicated subreddit moderators—whose leadership and commitment have meaningfully shaped and supported the Insider community. We asked our winners a few questions:

What’s a comfort game you can always go back to and enjoy playing, and why?

If you could live in any video game world, which one would it be and why?

Silver Badge Spotlight

Longtime contributors to the Xbox Insider Program, Mikro, CID, and Joern have earned the Silver badge for their sustained dedication and impact. Their feedback, testing, and community engagement continue to help shape the future of Xbox.

If you could have any video game character as your best friend, who would it be?

What’s the funniest glitch or bug you’ve encountered in a game?

What’s the most challenging game you have ever played, and did you beat it?

Bronze Badge Spotlight

The Bronze badge recognizes Insiders who have shown consistent involvement and enthusiasm throughout their time in the program. For this first round of bronze badges, we want to recognize: “KJ” and deadeagleman! Both have been resolute Insiders who have contributed to the program in a meaningful way.

Have you ever pulled an all-nighter playing a game? If so, what game?

You’ve Earned XP for Providing Feedback!

In addition to the new badges, we are excited to officially announce that we’ve been awarding Xbox Insider XP for the valuable feedback you provide! While this is the first time we’re talking about it, we have been recognizing your contributions with XP for some time now. Your insights are crucial in helping us improve, and we want to ensure you know how much we appreciate them. While the badges are rare, your feedback and participation can still earn you XP. The better your feedback is, the more likely it is to be awarded XP, so be sure to provide detailed, clear feedback and include screenshots when you can. That said, we review all feedback submitted through Report a Problem on the console. So, if you haven’t received XP for providing feedback yet, you just might in the future! If you haven’t submitted feedback before, you can get started today and learn more about the process by visiting the Provide Feedback to Team Xbox page. We can’t wait to hear from you!

Here’s what else we’ve done since the last community update:

OS Flighting
Our team has been grinding hard to bring you the best experience possible. From mouse and keyboard support and stream your own game with Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) to getting better recommendations when freeing up space and the new ways to personalize Home, we’ve seen so many new features introduced together. We’ve loved seeing your reactions to everything being released and your feedback has been incredibly helpful (as always). Your continued feedback helps us identify and resolve issues, making everyone’s experience better, so thank you for being part of this awesome community!

General Flighting Update
The Xbox Insider Team wants to get to know more about your gaming preferences. We’ve recently launched surveys on both PC and console asking about the game genres you play. Be sure to complete the “Xbox Insider Game Genre Survey” in the Xbox Insider Hub and look out for questions in the Weekly Pulse survey. Your input helps us learn more about our community and tailor the experience to your tastes.

Thank you for being a part of the Xbox Insider community! Keep gaming and stay awesome!
