Update for Xbox Series X|S brings support for noise reduction in voice chats

Microsoft has released a new firmware update for the Xbox Series X|S game consoles that brings noise cancellation support in voice chats. This feature allows you to get rid of annoying clicks, background music and breathing sounds.

Noise reduction is enabled by default, but users can disable it at any time in the “Guide” -> “Parties & Chats” -> “Options” section. In general, the feature works much like Discord Krisp and Nvidia Broadcast on PC.

In addition, with the update, users have a new way to join friends’ game sessions. In addition to viewing game clips and screenshots, the Event Stream now lets you play your game on PC or mobile using Xbox Cloud Gaming.
