Xbox One: first major system update due March – rumour

4.7
Xbox One is tipped to get a significant system update that will address several Xbox Live and interface issues in March, according to an alleged insider. It’s the same update discussed by Microsoft’s Marc Whitten earlier this month.

It comes from the same tipster who dated Forza Horizon 2 for September, Crackdown 3 for 2016 and Halo 2: Anniversary for November 11. Hit the links for details on each game.

The tipster posted his claims on NeoGAF initially, but The Verge has since claimed to have verified the update’s March release.

What would you like to see improved on Xbox One? Let us know below.

Prepare yourselves, Xbox One users. You're gonna get an ugly looking dashboard that lags too. Doesn't look like that's the case right now, but it's bound to happen.

I really hope they make it a lot easier to access key features on the Xbox One. I find it's overally complicated to do the simplest of tasks.

I'm really looking forward to this update and hopefully they will fix all the issues with the console especially the ones with party chat. I am sure they will though.

I also wonder if they will add anything new.

Mavericks This is what the update needs to include:

Fixed Party System
Themes
Battery/Controller Indicator
Friends online notification
Storage accessibility
Faster UI
Auto sign-in without kinect
Fix problem with skype where people in game can hear you
Dobly Digital Sound


Far fetched: backwards compatibility


That seems like everything, but there is something missing. I just cannot put my finger on it right now.


Putting a preference on whether you want in-game chat to play through speakers/headset/both, and options to turn the game volume down when someone talks, and vise versa. This is CRUCIAL for gaming commentators on YouTube.

Unless there have been little hotfixes, this is the first update.

Being able to send a voice communication to people on your friends list.


Preference system for what notifications you see, setting status to offline, disabling vibrate for all games.
