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

-GoldCoast- I hope they make a improvement for xbox one, everyone i know is switching to PS4


Really ? More and more people I know are coming over to XB1, with all these updates and the exclusives compared to PS4 I think it's a far superior console.

Sony has done everything right to advertise the PS4 but Microsoft is messing up left and right now with their Xbox One.

They must be preparing way ahead of time if it is going to be something big.
