hi, to access the Skip Ahead ring, are the reports or the profile level more important?

Hi Natpars,

so how the program works is that by joining a higher up ring you get access to updates before the lower down rings and due to skip ahead being a new ring it is a limited number ring like all alpha but you will have to rejoin beta ring if you do leave alpha
skip ahead ring. you do not drop to your previous ring.

The new home its for some Alpha skip ahead, but dont worry a certain point the beta ring will have access.

Regards!

as StuartATrueRed states, it is all down to accurate reports. The more you file bug reports, the greater the chance that when they need to top up the Alpha rings, you will get an invite.

if you do get an invite to Alpha or Alpha Skip Ahead, be prepared for lots of bugs and issues.

Hi there

It literally depends if you are in the insider program or not, Insider program is testing future updates for the console and has a few different sections to test and report any bugs you come across, Normally it's every few months if you are out side the
program (Public).

If you are in the program it depends on what "Ring" you are on. Example say if you are on the "skip ahead ring" it could be as much as every week. But if you are on beta ring it could be every month.

If you want more information on the insider program here is a link for you. https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/account-profile/manage-account/xbox-insider-program

Not all Insiders have access to not requiring gold for f2p games at the moment.Only Alpha/Alpha skip ahead & Beta rings are testing it.If you are not in any of those rings then you will still need a gold sub at the moment.
