Xbox One Getting Update to “Prepare for the Future”

Today Microsoft released an update to the Xbox One’s system software, mostly fixing issues, and adding support for a new video codec.

This is a public update, delivered to those that aren’t part of the preview program. Below you can read the full patch notes:

OS version: 6.2.12998.0 (xb_rel_1506.150601-2200) fre

Release date
6/5/2015

New or updated features
Multiplayer & Party Chat updates

Fix to address multiplayer issues across a few titles.
Made some small updates to the Party app to help team better understand issues reported by the community.
Game Bundles update

Fixed an issue where certain type of disc-based bundled games would not properly install
10-bit HD High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) platform support added

10-bit HD HEVC enables video streaming apps, like NetFlix, to use lower bandwidth to deliver HD quality video streams. 10-bit Ultra color increases the video color precision from 8-bits to 10-bits – with 8-bits you only get 16 million colors, but with 10-bit Ultra color precision you get 1 billion life-like colors that makes your video more vibrant.

Your Xbox One will get a small update today,” said Hryb. “No new features. Just a few behind the scenes changes to prepare for the future

I don't understand why the preview members get to have these standard updates before others, shouldn't they make it so everyone gets these standard updates at the same time?

It's nice to see that are updating the consoles

Were a lot of party chat issues going on, glad they fixed it.

It kinda makes me wonder what they have planned for the future. Maybe it'll be something big.

I barely use my xbox one but when i do the party system is always buggy, so hopefully they sort it out soon.

Even though they keep saying they are "fixing" or "updating" the party app, I still have problems daily with it. They seemed to have done something between their 360 and one chat cause I rarely had issues on the 360. But at least they are trying.
