Xbox Features

The fan is to keep the internal components cool. So the fans running during certains parts of a game are normal.

you can suggest those ideas on https://xboxideas.uservoice.com

Hey Popa2caps,

Those are great ideas and if you feel strongly about it you should make your voice heard by using: https://xboxideas.uservoice.com.

That being said, the things you listed are not implemented system-wide because it as more to do with that the developers which to implement and release. Settings like V-sync, Motion Blur, and texture levels are included by developers
in some games and work to the extent they choose. Check the in-game menu settings and see if the developers have it available. If not you can also make a proposal to the developer to include these options if you wish by contacting them.

Best,

All that would be needed is an app that uses the notification system. I can definitely see this happening, the only question I have is, who would create/maintain the app?

It seems like a good idea. I currently use my phone for things like that but it often gets stuck between couch cushions or i dont pay attention to it while gaming.
