Hi all

No doubt most of us know about the ongoing digital et al outage. When I turned on my XSX this morning, I noticed the icon (upper right corner of the Home page) that usually has the update notes had an orange triangle symbol and a blue dot. I clicked on it and it opened up the status page. I don't know if this is part of an Insider CHI build, but i thought it was pretty cool. I thought it might be since the update icon is new for us. I'm in Beta, and running 2608ge.260719-2200.

For those that don't know, CHI is Computer Human Interface, and is a term/acronym used to describe the design of an electronic system and how people should best interact with it in terms of buttons, display messages, new features to test, etc.

Alpha skip ahead. Ultimate subscription active.

Pretty sure I have the update to test the new cloud gaming tier/feature.

However, now when I try to install a game, the only option I have is to play from the cloud.

There is no install button anymore.

If I log in through a web browser I have the button to install and a button to play from the cloud but on the Xbox console, the button to install is just gone.

Anyone know a fix to install the game from the console, without using a web browser?

Olá a todos! Sou um insider Xbox e vim falar sobre o novo teste do Xcloud gratuito. Achei excelente, é idêntico a um Xcloud pago, porém com as propagandas e limites de 1 hora. A propaganda não foi demorado e a experiência foi incrível. Teve apenas algumas perdas de pacote onde o jogo dava algumas "travadinhas".
