Microsoft is going to make life easier for people who are thinking about upgrading to the Xbox One X from the Xbox One, or those who just want to play games on someone’s Xbox One. It’s rolling out a new beta firmware to Insiders which brings the ability to save Xbox One console settings to the cloud. This means that wherever users go, they can take their console settings with them. It certainly doesn’t get easier than that.

Microsoft has released alpha firmware for members of the Xbox Insiders program that brings the ability to save Xbox One console settings in the cloud. This isn’t just limited to saved games. The feature saves all of the home console’s settings to the cloud.

What this means is that users won’t have to spend a lot of time configuring a console that’s new to them. They need to punch in their credentials and they will be good to go. The new console will be configured to the exact same settings as the user’s home console.

This firmware also brings the ability to backup TV and OneGuide settings to external storage. Moreover, the Xbox mobile app is going to help users set up their Xbox One X while the initial update is being downloaded.

Xbox Insiders will get their hands on this update over the “next few weeks” so it’s going to take some time before these features are rolled out for all Xbox One owners.
