Excellent, though the question remains why the hell Apple has been so quiet about this

I've tried on both macOS 2.64 beta 4 and macOS 26.3.1 and there doesn't appear to be an update. The firmware version I have is 23D8128.

According to this article, the firmware version is 26.3 with build 23D8128.
So it appears review units shipped with an earlier version or build. Release day units had 26.3 installed via the factory.

Hmm. Disappointing. Having an issue with my M4 Pro Mac mini. I have 2 Studio XDRs each with their own TB5 directly into Mini, and then a SOTSU 4k/60 monitor via TB5 Dock. When I first plugged all in, each powered on to 60hz.
I was troubleshooting to get 120hz obviously, but now I can only get 1 XDR @ 120hz, 1 XDR at 60hz, and SOTSU doesn't turn on. I can run various combinations, but only ever 2 max and 1 @ 120hz.
Seems like there are some bugs as I don't see why I couldn't drive all 3 at 60hz at least, especially since I did at the very beginning.

In apples press demo they had 2 XDR and 1 2026 sd daisy chained.
I’m not aware of M5 benefits over m4 benefits in terms of TB5 limits.
Maybe try daisy chaining and see?

Just tried the daisy chain, and it was the same - basically the SOTSU came back on since I unplugged the XDR to move it over from direct to daisy chain, and then upon plugging it in it stayed black until I unplugged the SOTSU and then it popped back on (SOTSU remained off). Still just the 1 XDR @ 120hz and 1 @ 60hz in the daisy chain mode.

What is in the update? Any new features? bugfixes? I need the info!
Apple today released a new firmware update for the Studio Display and Studio Display XDR, two products that aren't set to launch until March 11.
The Studio Display Firmware 26.3 update is only for the new Studio Display options, and it is not available on the older model.
Studio Display firmware can be updated by connecting the display to a Mac and going to System Settings > Software Update.
Pre-orders are available for the Studio Display and Studio Display XDR as of today. Prices start at $1,599.

That article is from March 4. I believe that firmware update 26.3 was preinstalled on most displays that shipped on release day. We are still waiting for another update that will fix the crashes and blackouts that many owners are seeing.

Ah. I got my new ASD 2 days ago, and I got the 26.3 fw notice and installed it today. That prompted me to search for release notes which lead me here, among other Web pages.
