> We’ve heard from players who wanted a little more flexibility when choosing a gamertag, and we’re bringing back support for unique gamertags up to 15 characters long, expanded from the previous 12-character limit.
> This update applies to gamertags that are unique and available, giving you more room to create a gamertag that feels like you. Gamertags that are not unique or contain non-Latin characters may have a suffix and will continue to support up to 12 characters.

What’s Xbox insiders? It’s like a seperate subscription than Gamepass?

Does this mean we can now update our Gamertag without it affecting saves? I think I’m way out of date on this information because it used to be a serious issue years back and I just haven’t thought about it since. I remember when it was a paid service to change it lol.

We’ve also added detailed achievement popups from any XBOX 360 game’s achievement list in your profile. Happy achievement hunting!

Does becoming an insider and testing out the beta features have the ability to brick your console or delete saves (or anything else wonky for that matter)? I’d love to test the stuff out but don’t want to screw anything up

>When you’re ready to play, an update doesn’t have to slow you down. If a game requires an update and is available to stream through your Game Pass membership, you can start playing immediately with cloud gaming while the update downloads in the background. You’ll also see the option to launch with cloud gaming directly from the game card when a game is installing or updating. That means less waiting and more time playing.
This is actually a really cool new thing I didnt even consider.

That “play on cloud while your game updates” feature is going to come in handy.
