Xbox One party system improvements in the works

4.5
Microsoft is working on a number of improvements to Xbox One's party system.

Responding to suggestions on Reddit that party invites and chat features are more confusing and laborious to use than their Xbox 360 equivalents, Xbox Live director of programming Larry 'Major Nelson' Hyrb said on Monday:

"I had a meeting today about much of this and I can say that things will get better. I can't offer a timeline of a list of what till be addressed first, but we are aware of the issue and things will get better."

A link to Xbox Feedback, a consumer website listing a number of issues and suggestions to improve the Xbox One user experience, has also been passed along to the relevant team at Microsoft, Hyrb said recently.

Having launched in 13 markets on November 22, Xbox One sales topped one million units in less than 24 hours, Microsoft claimed on Saturday.

The XBOX 360 chat system was fine just how it was, they should keep it the same.

Improvements will make some happy and others disappointed. We can only wait and see

Abbotsford In my opinion it should stay like the Xbox 360's Xbox live party chats.


Me too, it would be a lot less complicated

I agree, they had a system that works I really don't think it needed to change.At the same time though I haven't had a problem with the new one.

I heard a lot of things about the new party like it's not letting people join and things like that.

Durant How different could it be?

Dang.


Apparently, instead of just waiting for someone to join your party, it says they are already in your party, just waiting for the invite.

Lavish I wonder just how different it is to the original party system.


Its so much diffrent you can see if you have invited a person and if they have joined it will show them in there even tho it sent the invite


So basically unless they are talking, you won't know if they have actually joined your party?
Sounds frustrating.

Lot The party system is weird on the xbone


I would more call it 'different' then weird. I'm sure everyone will adjust to it eventually
