[Steverulez]

Today, we’re excited to begin rolling out the first system update of 2015. Since Xbox One launched, we made a commitment to listen to feedback from the Xbox Live community and we continue to deliver on that promise. We’re always listening to your thoughts and will continue adding new features and improving existing functionality to enhance your gaming and entertainment experiences on Xbox One.

This month, we’re improving the Xbox One controller, enhancing Party Chat and adding new TV features like trending to OneGuide, and bringing “trick play” and live streaming on Windows Phone and Android to Xbox Live members in Europe using the Digital TV Tuner. Additionally, you can discover new content from your favorite games and further personalize your dashboard, among other cool new features.

Ok, now wheres my March update??

 

[RoKKeR]

March update will be the Screenshots update, I can feel it...

 

[zychi]

Already have this as a preview member. Its still a clustered mess.
Hopefully its an actual update, because its just meh for what preview people have

 

[Miles Quaritch]

We can only hope...

What's so bad about it? I haven't had any problems.

 

[Mista]

I hope this and the upcoming updates makes the console better.

 

[JaggedSac]

So next week for March preview?

 

[BeforeU]

I want Windows 10 update. Any news when that will come to Xbox One? Please be before E3. I need mew UI

 

[Steverulez]

So next week for March preview?

Presumably.

 

[RdN]

Seriously? There's still a couple of high priority bugs, including games and apps no launching, that still aren't fixed.

 

[Majine]

I want Windows 10 update. Any news when that will come to Xbox One? Please be before E3. I need mew UI

That's probably in the fall at the earliest. Also they haven't said anything about a new UI.

 

[Terbinator]

Solid update.

 

[JaggedSac]

Presumably.

Sweet. Fingers crossed for background audio.

 

[jbug617]

They said they will talk more about it at GDC next month

 

[Omni]

This happens to me regularly. Have to do a hard reset every few days it seems

 

[Illusive_Juan]

March update with background music and screenshot plz.

 

[Lakerchick4life]

Does this update also include the xbox one controller update..will be sure to plug in my controller so I can get that update as well

 

[RdN]

This happens to me regularly. Have to do a hard reset every few days it seems

Yeah, it's a know issue for those who use Instant On, but the Beta version actually made the issue worse, having to hard reset after every boot. And it's still not fixed.

 

[tapedeck]

Does this update include the ability to make the tiles translucent?

 

[hawk2025]

Same, but weirdly enough mostly with Forza Horizon 2 -- I would say it launches on first try about 20-30% of the time.

But maybe that's because FH2 is mostly what I play lately.

Screenshots in March pleeaaaasee.

 

[Majine]

Does this update include the ability to make the tiles translucent?

Yes.

 

[tapedeck]

Yes.

Sweet.

 

[Apoleptica]

I wonder if Microsoft will build upon all these updates the xbox one has been getting or if everything will just go out the window once a windows 10 version of the xbox one OS comes out.

 

[LiK]

i want screen capture, dammit.

 

[Bessy67]

I wonder if Microsoft will build upon all these updates the xbox one has been getting or if everything will just go out the window once a windows 10 version of the xbox one OS comes out.

I highly doubt that Windows 10 will mean much for the Xbox One OS. I'm sure there will be new apps and stuff but I'm not expecting a major overhaul.

 

[GiantEnemyCrab]

The fact that controllers have upgradeable firmware makes me feel like an old man.

We’re always listening to your thoughts

Think again, Microsoft! I sold my Kinect!

 

[Steverulez]

I wonder if Microsoft will build upon all these updates the xbox one has been getting or if everything will just go out the window once a windows 10 version of the xbox one OS comes out.

I doubt they would be doing stuff that is completely changed when the Windows 10 update is due. The UI will change but visual things (such as transparent tiles) will all be being done to work with any future updates otherwise I suspect they wouldnt be doing them.

 

[mf.luder]

Looking forward to this update! I've been having some funky things go on, hopefully this clears them up.

 

[Apoleptica]

I doubt they would be doing stuff that is completely changed when the Windows 10 update is due. The UI will change but visual things (such as transparent tiles) will all be being done to work with any future updates otherwise I suspect they wouldnt be doing them.

Yeah that would make sense, but based off how drastic the changes were for UI updates on the 360 I wouldn't be surprised if the windows 10 xb1 os mixed things up a bit. I doubt they would get rid of features like custom themes though.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

The fact that controllers have upgradeable firmware makes me feel like an old man.

Same here but it's also one of the coolest next gen features in my opinion.

 

[Alchemy]

This update basically makes the Xbone a Slingbox right? Or is the TV streaming to mobile devices restricted to the same network the Xbone is on?

 

[EdLin]

Is there any way of getting your XB1 to check for updates? I just got mine day-one updated on the 30th, and don't see a way of getting it to check again.

 

[JaggedSac]

That has been capable for a while but only with the tv tuner available in Europe.

 

[djshauny]

Looking foward to testing it out.

What time will the update start rolling out?

 

[a Master Ninja]

I'm in the preview program and I'm still not sure what Game Hubs are really for.

With your xbox connected to the internet go to settings then system and it should say there whether an update is available or not.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Yes.

Where is the translucent toggle at? Mine are translucent now, but I couldn't find a toggle anywhere.

 

[jbug617]

they are working on spammers for next month.

@XboxQwik: Next month we'll make reporting spammers a lot easier in the UI - for those asking.

 

[RdN]

Where is the translucent toggle at? Mine are translucent now, but I couldn't find a toggle anywhere.

There's no toggle.

If you use the original background, you get solid tiles. If you use a custom one, you get transparent tiles.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

There's no toggle.

If you use the original background, you get solid tiles. If you use a custom one, you get transparent tiles.

Ah, gotcha. Be cool if they added a transparency slider for them.

 

[MavFan619]

Translucent tiles let's gooo now my glorious Bloodborne wallpaper can be seen gloriously.

 

[Mookow]

Link dead, maybe no update today?

 

[Ecto311]

Anyone have a link to the video? The OP link is dead for some reason on my chrome.

 

[JayhawkerStL]

The fact that controllers have upgradeable firmware makes me feel like an old man.



Think again, Microsoft! I sold my Kinect!

And they unbundled the Kinect!

 

[JayhawkerStL]

I'm in the preview program and I'm still not sure what Game Hubs are really for.

They are nice place to sort all of the stuff you might want to do or look at in relation to a game. You will find leaderboards to compare what your friends have done with the game, find clips and broadcasts, and get to your achievements.

You can also use the hub to launch your game normally, as a broadcast, or as a party.

I suspect this will evolve over time to include even more features.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I bet at the end of Xbox One's life cycle, it will have a completely different interface that we can't imagine right now, and Ps4 will stay exactly the same.

 

[Bgamer90]

March update will be the Screenshots update, I can feel it...

I think it will be too.

_____________

So next week for March preview?

I've noticed a trend of MS releasing update previews during NPD weeks; don't know if it's just a coincidence or if it's actually a ploy to take some attention away from the months that the system isn't #1.

Anyway, yeah -- next week sounds right.

 

[Doffen]

Next update will probably give us Upload Studio 2.0

 

[ShaiKhulud]

That January screenshots update!

Hope they will fix Snap miserable performance sometime in 2015. (who am i joking)

 

[neotokyo360]

I waiting for windows 10.
