With the release of thelatest system update last night, the Groups feature is now leaving the A/B testing phase and becoming available for all Xbox Preview Alpha insiders with the latest build. As the name suggests, this feature allows users togroup Games and Apps togetherin a dedicated section in the My Games and App tabs. This build also introduces several other fixes and comes with some known issues, so here’s what you need to know.

Known Issues

The new build also has some fixes for when the name of an active game wasn’t showing up in recently used games and apps. Other fixes include correcting issues with USB webcams in Mixer broadcasting and removing an issue where the “Add more” or “Create a group” page for Groups would not show all installed content.

Since the Alpha Ring is the highest ring in the Xbox Insider program, you can expect for this same build to make its way down to the other rings soon. When it does, you can then expect a general rollout to everyone else on public versions of Xbox OS, who still don’t have Groups.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
