Xbox Alpha Insiders can now remap the Xbox Series X /S controllers Share button and assign a wide range of custom actions.

you want most with a single button press. For example, you can access media and volume controls, send messages, jump to your achievements, toggle high contrast mode, and much more just by remapping the Share button. Out today to Xbox Alpha Insiders: You can now use the Xbox Accessories app to map your
Xbox Series X|S controller's Share button (press, hold, and double-tap) to a wide range of custom actions, including Quick Settings and accessibility options. pic.twitter.com/SgKI1qE5KN February 7, 2022 See more How to remap
