Xbox One feature updates planned through October

Microsoft has feature updates planned for Xbox One through October, according to Xbox boss Phil Spencer

Spencer regularly answers questions from fans via his Twitter account, addressing everything from exclusive games to developer kit releases. Earlier this week, he gave a bit of insight into Microsoft's continued plan to flush out its new-gen console.

"We've worked through the feature list through October," Spencer tweeted. "[Monthly updates] will continue and features look good."

The company has maintained a steady cadence of relatively feature-rich updates since it launched Xbox One in November. The latest update planned for the system will revise the system's social Activity Feed and add remote purchase/download capabilities.

Spencer said he is "focused" on load and install times for the console, though he did not mention specific plans to improve them. He also said digital pre-ordering will be made available "not long" from now - Sunset Overdrive is the first Xbox One title confirmed for digital pre-order.

The most recent PS4 update was dedicated to improving system stability, a common patch note for the console which has seen fewer features added in its post-launch period.

Whey Digitally pre ordering games off the console is a really good idea.


I agree but i wonder how it will work though?


I wonder that as well. My thoughts are that it would be just downloaded on the release date which sounds amazing.


So it's ready for you the minute you get on the console? This would seal the deal for some people looking to buy either console. It'd be a GOOD innovation.

Miss I really do hope the install and load times will be decreased. Not looking forward to waiting an hour to do those when I get my Xbox One.


that is just your slow internet because when i got my xbox one it did not take 1 hour or more it took about 30 mins or so


install has nothing to do with internet unless digitally purchased.


+1 ^^^

so many people get confused with this


most games i have rented also come with an update that must be installed before you can start

30 minutes is still an unnaceptable install time, it can be done much better. They handled th e install process horribly.

The xbox one install times are pathetic, it is horribly optimized. On my PS4 you can begun playing most games in under a minute.

I'm really looking forward to digital preordering and hopefully they will offer preloading of games too.
