 ## Unreleased
 
-## Features
+### Fixes
+
+- The SDK now correctly resolves the storage path on Xbox during initialization, enabling offline caching and native crash capturing without user setup out of the box. ([#2617](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-unity/pull/2617))
+
+### Features
 
-- The _Metrics_ APIs are now stable: removed `Experimental` from `SentrySdk` and `SentryOptions` ([#2615](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-unity/pull/2615))
