Microsoft testing new game badges on Xbox One, Series consoles

Handy!

Microsoft is testing a new series of game badges on Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles.

The badges, accessible to Xbox Alpha and Alpha Skip Ahead Insiders, denote games that require a disc or those that aren’t playable on a user’s current console.

According to engineer Eden Marie, the badges seen above tell many stories.

“In this screen, Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil Resistance are disc installs where the disc isn’t currently inserted, Rain On Your Parade previously left Game Pass, and Steep belongs to a user that isn’t signed in (and this isn’t their Home Xbox),” Marie wrote.

Badges currently active to all users denote titles that have Xbox Series S & X advancements. You can see examples of that particular badge in the image above as well.

We’ll let you know when this new badge functionality goes live to all.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
