Users will also gain more control over cloud saves, with the ability to restore previous save versions directly from the console, starting with Forza Horizon 6. Finally, the wishlist limit has increased from 301 to 1,000 games, enabling players to track more upcoming titles and sales. These updates aim to improve content creation and library management for the Xbox ecosystem.
