Microsoft today pushed the Windows 11 Build 25193 update to Dev Preview Channel users, which brings easier Xbox subscription management.
Windows 11 Build 25193 introduces Xbox subscription management in the Settings app. With this release, users can better manage their Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass for Console or Xbox Live Gold subscriptions and view subscription details through Settings > Account.
As with the Microsoft 365 subscription management experience, users will be able to view the billing cycles, payment methods, and games and benefits associated with their Xbox subscription. In addition, users can manage and upgrade subscriptions, redeem gift card tokens, and stay up to date on any actions needed to continue their subscription without any interruptions.
The feature has been pushed to some Dev preview users and we can wait for the subsequent wider rollout.
In addition, this release supports new Braille displays in the narrator. Some of the new Braille displays supported include APH Chameleon, APH Mantis Q40, NLS e-reader, and more.
