If you are waiting to get your hands on the new Xbox One experience that will be released for everyone in November, and if you are a member of the preview program but still didn’t get selected among the “chosen few,” it’s time to check out your console.

Several users have reported today in the private preview forums that a new batch of invites has rolled out, so there’s a possibility that might be part of it.

On top of that, Program Manager Emily Hanson posted an overview on the selection criteria, to help people understand why Microsoft picking and choosing certain users instead of others.

“Hey Preview members! It’s been an eventful week in the Preview program with the release of the first1510 update for the New Xbox One Experience Preview. We’re fixing lots of stuff, and adding new features too. We’re excited about the feedback we’re getting, and excited to get feedback from more of you as we make it more widely available.

We’ve had some questions about the selection process for the initial groups, so I’d like to try and clarify a bit. We took several factors into account in choosing who to include in the first few groups, including (but not limited to): Preview score, activity level on Xbox Live, and a history of great feedback. Having high marks in any one (or more) of these categories gave you a good chance to be in one of the first few groups, but keep in mind the initial groups have been very small. The good news is we’re planning on expanding to more people over the next week or two. We really appreciate the patience and understanding of the community during this process.”
