I was about to report an issue with game notifications not showing, turns out this is the exact issue I have.

I can confirm this with the same conditions:

Xbox Series X, Keyboard+Mouse, Readability Panels disabled.
Turning Readability Panels on brings notifications back.

Additional info: even though notifications are not showing, their sound can be heard. This is specifically noticeable for other players advancing to the next age.
