How do you feel about Xbox’s support for experimental game modes?

From the Xbox Game Preview program to experimental modes in titles like Forza Horizon and Sea of Thieves, Microsoft often tests new features live. Do you enjoy being a beta tester for fresh ideas like flight mode in Sea of Thieves or elimination races in Forza? Or do you prefer polished releases without the bugs? How do you balance the excitement of early access against stability concerns? And do you think such live experiments influence the broader gaming industry’s approach to iterative development?
