Xbox One May Insider update adds 120Hz refresh rate, Groups

A planned Xbox One May 2018 Insider update will bring a variety of new features including a 120Hz refresh rate, game and app Groups and more, Microsoft has confirmed.

The 120Hz refresh rate will be available for 1080p and 1440p resolutions, where supported by your TV or monitor. Users will be able to choose between 60Hz and 120Hz options.

The update will also introduce Groups, a feature much like Pins — in fact, your Pins will make your console’s first proper Group. Groups will let you take games and apps and bundle them in groupings of your choice.

Microsoft has confirmed the May 2018 Insider update will also allow users the ability to trim game captures using the Xbox Guide, and boasts improved family settings alongside improvements to the Xbox Accessories app.

The update will roll out to Alpha Insiders next month.

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.
