As Reddit’s A-damn1988discovered, the new remapping feature has an unexpected benefit: you can use it as a game switcher.
How to remap the Share button on your Xbox controller: Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X
The app you need to remap the Share button is the Xbox Accessories app, which you’ll find in My Games & Apps. This is where you can re-assign the Share button’s functions when you tap, double-tap and hold it. In combination with the new pinned Quick Resume feature, that means you can map the button to a specific game and switch to it immediately – handy if you’re playing something frustratingly difficult and need to switch to a palate cleanser before the red mist of rage-quitting descends.
It’s a useful trick, although it’s wise to choose the double-tap or long-press option so you don’t accidentally switch games in the middle of the action the same way I accidentally take screenshots. But if your controller muscle memory is better than mine it’s a great way to repurpose a largely redundant button to do something more useful.
Of course, to do this you actually have to have anXbox Series Sor Xbox Series X. But if you’ve been trying to get one without any luck, the good news is that stock is much less erratic than before. OurXbox Series X Stock trackerwill help you steer clear of the scalpers to get your console for its proper price.
