Five Rows (Rings) Xbox Insiders
The Xbox Insiders program comes in five teams called Microsoft Rings. Below is a description of each ring and the conditions for accessing them.
| Rang | Description To Rang |
|---|---|
| Skip the alpha forward | Alpha Skip Ahead Ring receives updates prior to public availability with features not available on other rings, only accessible by call. |
| Alpha | Only by call and reserved for insiders who provide more feedback and issues and are more active on Xbox. From time to time, some beta and delta users will be invited to the alpha group |
| Beta | The beta ring is open to everyone. This gives Xbox Insiders 3 months or more of programming time and 5 or more Xbox Insider XP status. This ring receives updates after the alpha. |
| Delta | Xbox Insider Level 2 or above can be accessed by any Xbox Insider with one or more monthly workouts. In some very rare cases, Delta members may receive Xbox system updates before the beta. In all cases, Delta members will receive updates before they become available to the public. |
| Omega | Anyone can join the Omega Group used to test small changes in monthly updates. Omega members will generally have initial access to the monthly updates coming soon to the public. |
Since 2017, Microsoft has dropped the notion of a “ring” from the Xbox Insiders program. Omega is called “Ring 4” and Delta is the new name for “Ring 3”.
How many Xbox updates can you expect in terms of rankings?
To find out what to expect, Microsoft has released a table of the number of updates to be given according to its ranking / ring, and the recommended bandwidth for each. This can be useful if you do not want to update your Xbox console frequently or if you do not have adequate internet connection.
| Rang | Number of updates per month | The bandwidth is used per month |
|---|---|---|
| Xbox Insiders Alpha | 15 – 20 | 60 – 80 co |
| Xbox Insiders Beta | 8 – 15 | 32 – 60 co |
| Xbox Insiders Delta | Varies, some members may be 3 per week | Variable, 12 GB per week |
| Xbox Insiders Omega | 1 – 8 | 4 – 32 co |
How to change the quality of Xbox Insiders?
The ranking and ring can be downgraded if desired so as not to overload the amount of data used per month. Owners of multiple consoles can choose the quality of each console individually by using the same Camertack on each.
