Xbox night mode now in testing by Alpha Insiders

Are your sessions creeping later and later into the wee hours of the morning?

A special Xbox night mode is now in testing by Alpha Skip-Ahead Insiders, Microsoft has recently confirmed.

Mirroring similar settings as found on PCs, tablets and smartphones, the mode will make it a little easier on your eyes if you’re up playing video games until all hours of the morning.

“Night Mode has now been added as a new feature in Settings,” Microsoft wrote. “Users can now dim and filter their screen, as well as dim their console & controller LED brightness. Please note that localization is still pending, so the feature is currently only available in English.”

The new Alpha Skip-Ahead update also contains the usual stability and quality improvements, though has seemingly borked Dolby Vision for Gaming.

If you’re interested in joining the Xbox Insider program, the easiest way to go about it is to download the Xbox Insider app. If you’ve just taken part in the Halo Infinite technical test, it’s the same app that provided you access.
