Fe arrives today on Xbox One. By now, we hope you’ve had a chance to glimpse a few of the breathtaking images from the game. It’s a strikingly lovely world, a marvelously contoured land of hidden valleys, shimmering waterfalls, and towering evergreens looking down over vast valleys teeming with life. The forest is a world of quiet, sublime beauty, a canvas of bold colors and deep shadows… some concealing hidden menace. As Fe, you will explore this expansive, marvelous, and occasionally frightening wilderness.

The Silent Ones have come, seizing the wild animals of the wood for their own mysterious purposes. As Fe, you will unravel this riddle and free the trapped creatures. Along the way, befriend the beasts and learn their language. Sing songs, gain their trust and enlist their aid as they carry you on their backs, guide you to uncover secrets, and swoop down from the skies to aid you. As your journey continues, you’ll gain new powers.

Gliding from cliff to treetop over fast river valleys, you’ll have to use your wits to outsmart strange, frightening foes along your way. Move nimbly and carefully to avoid the gaze of the ever-vigilant Silent Ones. Rescue captives from under the noses of the towering guardians.

We’re proud to be part of what developer Zoink has created in Fe: a sense of awe and wonder, an appreciation for the serene quiet and thunderous power that coexist in nature. We’re hopeful that you’ll draw the same joy from exploring its strange and exceptional world that we experienced in helping create it.

We’re incredibly excited to announce that Claybook is now available through Xbox Game Preview for Xbox One gamers.

Bringing Claybook to Xbox One has been a huge undertaking for our small two-person team. We started our journey two years ago, and now we’re ready to hand over the game to the Xbox community.

Claybook is a unique world made entirely of clay. Everything acts like it’s made of real clay. Every inch of the environment can be shaped and molded. Everything has matter inside it, not just an outer shell. Clay can be liquid or solid, and it can be deformed and destroyed.

Claybook runs at smooth 60 fps on both Xbox One versions and offers enhanced high-quality 4K assets for Xbox One X.

This is only the beginning for Claybook. While in Xbox Game Preview, we’re looking forward to adding new content, new features, and improved user-generated content tools. We hope the game continues to evolve and we welcome the Xbox community to find new creative ideas to shape the future of our clay-based world.

For news regarding the game, visit the official Claybook site, follow us on Twitter or Facebook, and stay tuned to Xbox Wire!

30 years ago, I was sitting at home watching Michael Jordan participate in the 1988 slam dunk contest as he took off from the free throw line in what would become the most iconic dunk in basketball history.

Not only was it one of the greatest and most watched moments in basketball history, it launched a revolution — every kid (like me) from around the world would spend years experiencing the thrill of what it’s like to own the same sneakers as the Jumpman himself.

Today I’m honored and humbled to announce a very special and unique collaboration between Air Jordan and Xbox.

Anyone who’s a sneaker enthusiast knows that the next five weeks are a very big deal when it comes to some iconic Air Jordan III releases. To celebrate this reveal, we’re creating one-of-a-kind Xbox One X consoles inspired by each of the three upcoming Air Jordan III releases.

The custom consoles will be based on the Air Jordan III Free Throw Line which dropped February 14, the Air Jordan III Black Cement available February 17 and the Air Jordan III Tinker which will be available on March 24. To learn more about the history of these iconic shoes, visit Jumpman23.com.

The Free Throw Line Xbox One X pays homage to the unforgettable dunk by Michael Jordan in 1988. The Black Cement Xbox One X is inspired by the sneakers with all the same detailing which made these, considered by many, the greatest sneakers of all-time, and the Tinker Xbox One X showcases Tinker Hatfield’s original design for what the shoe was going to be.

Three very fortunate fans will have the chance to win one of the consoles by participating in the giveaway opportunity on Xbox’s Twitter Page from Friday, February 16 at 6 a.m. PT to Wednesday, February 21 at 10 p.m. PT. Read here for full sweepstakes details.

Having the world’s most powerful console meet a legendary brand like Jordan for the first time ever is something truly special for sneakerheads and gamers everywhere.

Come join us to honor and celebrate two brands we love. I cannot wait to see these kits in the hands of some very lucky fans.

The Dell Gaming Car Pack bring seven new cars to Forza Motorsport 7’s ever-growing garage of 700+ vehicles, all available to collect, customize and race at 60 fps on Xbox One and Windows 10 and in native 4K on Xbox One X. Leading off the pack is the already legendary 2018 Bugatti Chiron, one of the most requested cars in recent memory. For good reason, too. This is a $3 million technological and engineering marvel that is the successor to Bugatti’s legendary Veyron. Then consider the 2018 Kia Stinger, a game-changing RWD, five-door hatch from Korea that’s making waves as a performance-minded competitor to the big European brands. Want to expand your race car garage? The 2016 Audi #17 Rotek Racing TTRS is a Pikes Peak Hillclimb record holder and the 2017 Aston Martin Racing V12 Vantage GT3 #7 has contributed to Aston Martin’s legendary race history. Or go back in Aussie muscle car history and experience the Bathurst-winning 1968 Holden HK Monaro GTS 327. Mopar fans will also find two new heavyweights in the 2017 Ram Power Wagon and 2018 Dodge Durango SRT.

Hello Insiders! If you saw our last article on Xbox Feedback, you know that your ideas and suggestions matter to us! The Xbox Insider program lets you give feedback on features we’re already working on, but if you have a new suggestion or idea, please share it with us at Xbox Feedback

If you haven’t been to Xbox Feedback yet, I’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions about how the site works. If you want to learn more about the posting guidelines we adhere to, or some other details about the feedback process, you can find those here and here.

~Nathan (aka Mister Retr0)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I use the Xbox Feedback site?
A: Xbox Feedback is divided into two areas: New Ideas, and Feature Forums. The front page of Xbox Feedback is the “New Ideas” forum, where you can post and vote on new ideas. The “Feature Forums” are accessible from the sidebar on the right; these are the ideas that are shared with the Xbox organization.

If a “New Idea” suggestion meets the posting guidelines and earns enough votes, it will be moved to a Feature Forum. Duplicates will be removed and their votes lost.

Q: Do I need to sign in to post ideas and vote?
A: Yes. Sign in with your Microsoft Account to post your ideas, comment, and vote. Your User ID will be your Gamertag.

Q: What happens after I submit my idea?
A: Once you post a new idea, other Xbox fans can view, comment and/or vote on your idea. We have a dedicated crew of staff and moderators who review the ideas and comments. If your idea has enough votes, it will be added to the Feature Forums, where ideas are heard throughout the Xbox organization.

Q: How does voting work?
A: Once you’re signed in, you can vote for an idea by clicking the “Vote” button next to the idea’s title and description. You can vote once per idea. An idea’s total number of votes is presented just above the “Vote” button.

Q: I got banned on Xbox Live / My Xbox is having an issue / I have a question about my account
A: Xbox Feedback cannot assist with individual user experiences; our goal is to give the community a voice for feature requests and new ideas! If you have a question about Xbox Live Policy or Enforcement actions, please go to Xbox Enforcement. If you have a question about your account or need help with your Xbox console, please visit Xbox Support.

Q: What’s the difference between Hot Ideas and Top Ideas?
A: Top ideas have the highest total vote counts in their category. Hot ideas are those which have received the most votes in a short amount of time. For example, a new idea with 30 fresh votes this week will be Hotter than a 500-vote idea that’s been around a while and received fewer votes in the same time frame.

Q: How can I tell if an idea’s being implemented?
A: The status of an idea will be updated to “In Progress” when it is being implemented, and after it has been released, the status will be updated to “Completed”.

Q: Do I get credit if my idea is implemented?
A: You get boasting rights among your friends and family, and the knowledge that you’ve helped make Xbox better for everyone!

Q: How do I receive updates about my ideas?
A: You can enable notifications by clicking “Settings” – located next to your Gamertag in the upper right portion of the screen. Type in your preferred email address to receive updates. You can also set your preferred language and add an image for your Avatar.

Q: I have a question about my Xbox 360/Xbox One/network connection/billing history. Can I ask it here?
A: For any support-related questions, please reach out to us at Xbox Support.
