Xbox One update coming April

Today’s announcement from Microsoft is the next step in the continual improvement the Xbox One is undergoing. Microsoft are inviting users to help give feedback on what needs the most attention the soonest. After the last update, here’s what in next month’s.

• 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 actually was one of the most frequently requested features from the first preview wave and we made it a priority to include it in the April update. Also, friends who are in multiplayer will be identified in the friends list. We’ll also add the ability to view friends’ most popular apps.
• Kinect voice and motion improvements will continue to fine tune the quality and reliability of Xbox One commands.
• Improved GameDVR video quality through compression algorithm improvements.

You may be contacted by Microsoft via Xbox Live over the coming weeks as they continue to expand the userbase that is inputting to the process of improving the Xbox One experience.

As always, we will bring you any more news on Xbox One updates as we receive it, as well as the PS4, Wii U and other systems.
