Xbox Live Update Group IDs
What are Update Groups?
Game Devkits are able to switch between the top three update groups listed below, allowing for targeting no updates, the latest GA (General Availabity) build, or the latest SA (Skip Ahead) build. There are a number of internal update IDs used for Dogfooding, Canary, and other purposes, but are of no use to the common person as Microsoft enforces an allowlist based on console ID.
