What you need to know
- The latest Xbox update lets you link social media accounts to your Xbox profile.
- You can already do this on the Windows 10 Xbox app.
- On Xbox consoles, you can also view accounts that you've already linked from the Windows 10 app.
Previously, you could already use the Windows 10 Xbox app to link social media accounts to your Xbox profile, but you can now also do so directly from your console. You can link Steam, Discord, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Reddit accounts to your profile.
The Microsoft support page for linking social network accounts to the Xbox doesn't mention doing it directly from the console yet.
On your Xbox console, if you go to Settings and check "LInked social accounts," you'll see any accounts that you've linked through other means. You can also link to other accounts from your console.
You also have the option to select which social media accounts have icons appear next to your name. For example, you may want to link your Xbox profile to your Facebook account but not have a Facebook icon appear on your profile.
This isn't a massive change, but it does make it a bit easier to connect your Xbox profile to other social networks.
The full next-generation experience.
Xbox Series X is Microsoft's new flagship, as its most powerful console with over 12TF GPU performance and a custom SSD. It boasts up to 4K resolution and 120 FPS, full backward compatibility across four generations, and ray-tracing support.
Experience next-gen gaming for less.
Microsoft serves the next-generation for less with its budget-friendly Xbox Series S. The console packs the same high-performance CPU and SSD technology as Xbox Series X, while scaling back the GPU and removing the disc drive.
