    The future of the Xbox Insider (preview) programme?


    Just noticed that I've been on the preview programme for over a decade now and started to wonder about what is coming next. I've noticed a significant decline in new features, activities and previews over the last 24 months and it feels like MS have given up. I know there's a lot in the media and fanboys will fanboy but it does seem like all the good stuff has come to an end. Can't recall any decent thank you's or anything given for all the free testing and reports I've done for well over a decade. You know what, I'll say it, it seems very tight for a multi billion dollar company not to give us some rewards for our support, hell, with digital it wouldn't even cost them but would do wonders for their rep. They even sabotaged the community with it being nigh on impossible to see who is doing what these days. I remember characters like 'The wee bear' and others that were very active and now seem to have disappeared given there's often nothing to do but bug reports and the occasional key poll of 'What topping do you prefer on your pizza?'...

    Anyway rant over, pondering whether to step back after lots of CEC and NAT issues with the last few updates.

    opt out preview programme

    You can un-enrol on your Xbox, by going to the Xbox Preview Dashboard app and un-enrolling from the preview updates. This will only change to stop the updates once the current update wave has ended.

    For future reference, please post Preview Programme questions in the private preview programme forums.
