Xbox One Developer Menu Uncovered in Retail Units

An Xbox One developer menu has been uncovered on retail Xbox One units. You can unlock this menu easily with a simple button code, but Microsoft has advised against it.

As uncovered by a Reddit user, a 'Developer Settings' menu can be accessed on any Xbox One simply by going to the Xbox System Settings menu and pressing buttons in this sequence: left bumper, right bumper, left trigger, right trigger.


Completing the sequence reveals a list of developer-oriented menu options including 'Sandbox ID', crash dump and debug options, pictured above.

But Microsoft has warned curious Xbox One owner that accessing and changing settings in this menu could render their console's unusable.

"Changing the settings in this menu is only intended for developers for Xbox One, and this alone does not turn the console into a development kit," a Microsoft rep told Kotaku.

"We strongly advise consumers against changing these settings as it could result in their Xbox One becoming unusable. Customers who have put their consoles into this developer setting can revert by restoring factory defaults under Settings / System, select Restore Factory Defaults."
