Want the very best Xbox features before everyone else? You can do this by becoming an Xbox Insider. This is Microsoft’s system of allowing dedicated Xbox fans to pre-test features and provide valuable feedback to Microsoft.
Signing up to be an Xbox Insider is free, although the options you get sometimes depend on certain requirements, such as your Xbox Insider level, platform, or region. However, there are many early access features to test and beta releases to subscribe to.
Let’s take a look at how to become an Xbox Insider and how to access higher-level Xbox Insider Rings for even more Early Access features.
How to join the Xbox Insider Program

When you open the app for the first time, you must agree to the terms. The Xbox Insider Program is Microsoft’s way of collecting data on future features, so they will often send out emails with surveys and questionnaires about your experience.
Once you agree to the terms, you can start participating in various Xbox Insider events. The options you have will depend on availability, platform, and region. Some features may be available immediately after registration, but others may only be available for a limited time if you apply for them.
Once you’ve installed the Xbox Insider Hub and accepted the terms, click the Insider Content button to see what features are available for early testing.
Find out if there are any dedicated Insider Programs for upcoming games or game updates. When the program becomes available, it will appear in the “System” or “Games” section. Choosing it will give you the opportunity to join.
Most of the Xbox Insider features are available for Xbox One. To access these features, you must join the Xbox Insider Program in the System section of the Insider Program tab. The system is divided into five different versions known as rings. You must select your ring before you can access some of the features. To do this, follow these steps.

- On the home page, select Insider Content.
- Then select Preview Xbox One Updates under System.

- Alpha – Available by invitation only to regular Xbox Insiders. Get very early access to new features that may still have major issues or bugs.

How to upgrade your Xbox Insider account
To get access to new features earlier than other users, you must level up your Xbox Insider account to reach new circles. To level up, you can complete quests and polls in the Xbox Insider app.
For example, the first quest available to you might be to complete a survey about playing with others. This particular poll gives 10XP, which gets you half way through level 1. It will take a while for new quests and polls to appear. Plus, you’ll need to be an Xbox Insider for a while to attend each new ring, as mentioned above.
It can take a long time to level up through each ring in the Xbox Insider Program, but if you spend a few minutes each week in the app, you will gradually begin to approach the beta phase. Once in the beta test, you will not be able to climb higher unless you are invited.
How to become an Xbox Insider Alpha Ring tester
Although Alpha Ring testers are invited by invitation only, there are several steps you can take to increase your chances. To have the best chance of getting an invitation, be sure to take part in as many surveys, quests and tests as possible.
When asked to provide feedback or report a bug, be sure to do so – many people have mentioned that these methods helped them get invited.
Ultimately, new members of the Xbox Insider Alpha Ring will only be invited if there is a need for them at Microsoft, and there is no automated process for that as there is for other groups.
How to leave the Xbox Insider Program
If you’re in the Xbox Insider Program, you may receive emails and messages from Xbox about the program. You can refuse to participate at any time. To do this, follow these steps.

- Open the Xbox Insider Hub app.
- In the application, select Settings.
- Select “Account Management”.
- Select “Close Account”.

You can rejoin at any time by opening the app again and accepting the terms, but you will lose your previous experience and status.
