Long overdue.

I think Xbox One is going to be fine with new leadership. The implementation of DX12 and reallocating resources from the Kinect back into the console is going to be big. If they can return the focus back to games instead of trying to be the center piece of my living room, it will pay off for MS in the long run.

New Xbox One System Update Begins Rolling Out Tonight

Tonight, we will begin rolling out the next Xbox One system update. Again, I’d like to thank all of the Xbox Live members who previewed features with us and shared some of their feedback. Their input helped shape this system update, and we look forward to expanding our list of previewing Xbox Live members in the coming months.

Here’s the final breakdown of the features rolling out to Xbox One systems starting tonight and over the next few days:

- Game and app saves and updates. A game save progress bar will show you the status of your game saves. You will also be able to easily tell what games and apps are being updated or have been updated recently.

- Friends improvements. Notifications will be added to see when favorites and friends sign in to Xbox Live. This was one of the most frequently requested features, so we made it a priority to include it in this update. Also, friends who are in multiplayer will be identified in the friends list.

- Kinect voice and motion improvements will continue to be fine-tuned for quality and reliability of Xbox One commands. For example, we’ve updated some of the gesture functionality to reduce false positives on non-hand objects triggering gesture commands.

- Improved GameDVR video quality through compression algorithm improvements.

- Blu-ray player supports 50 Hz video output for content recorded at 50 Hz. We’ll also be updating the Blu-ray Player app in the coming days to round out these improvements.

- Controller and headset adaptor firmware updates will reduce audio static and improve wireless connectivity.

- Silent reboot after system updates and system update on demand now available. If your console is in Instant On mode, the update will happen automatically and return to standby upon completion. This means you won’t need to power on your console after an update moving forward. If you want to take future updates when available without waiting for your console to do it on its own, we’ve added this option under system settings and you’ll be able to use it next update. It will only show as available when there is an update to take.

I like the friend notifications that are being added, the Xbox One's online setup has already come a long way since launch. Great to see because I admit I was getting quite frustrated at first.

Agreed. But most of this shit is stuff that they inexplicably removed from the 360's UI. For what reason I have no clue.

Are we supposed to plug in our controllers and update them after this latest update?

 

[Atlas]

This one is to reduce mic static in game chat, only really noticed if in forza public lobbies...

The first one was to make the controller more precise, mostly for titanfall, but it does seem better in other games as well...

It's only been done on the XBone as far as I know.

Apparently their 'perfect' controller wasn't so perfect.

god forbid they try to improve it. and the ps4 had a controller update last month, im fairly certain, and even more are clamoring for better battery life from the ds4.

 

[Maynard]

Ha. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Nope. The only 'updates' were to share features and there is supposed to be an update forthcoming to allow you to dim the light, but no actual updates that affect the controls in anyway. You can't improve on perfection.

Dimming the light bar won't change the dismal battery performance?

But still, that sounds like two controller updates. :dd:

I'm not sure what you consider "dismal"? Considering I get 6-8 hours of play time out of mine and it has a built in rechargeable battery, unlike the XBone that still has a controller stuck in 2000.
