Microsoft has released a brand new firmware update for all the Xbox One users who are a part of the preview program on the Xbox One. This latest firmware update includes fixes for Party Chat, Avatars and online multiplayer. You can read the full set of details including the changelog below. Microsoft also released a major firmware update for the Xbox One last November which completely revamps the dashboard and UI. This firmware update also adds backwards compatibility and Windows 10 support.

HOW TO GET IT
