Xbox One System Update Improves Achievements, Chatting, And More
According to Microsoft, Xbox One's April software update will include several minor improvements to the party chat mechanics, game hub, and achievement system.
This week, Microsoft's favorite mouthpiece, Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb, updated his blog with a detailed description of the patch's perks. And even though none of the changes are critical, Xbox One owners will definitely appreciate the update.
Here are the details, according to Hryb:
Microsoft has already delivered the update to its Preview Program members and, assuming everything works, the rest of us will get our hands on it in April.
If you're never heard of the Preview Program, don't be alarmed. It's not a collection of hyper-elite Microsoft fanboys (at least not entirely). It’s just a group of people who have agreed to test software updates before they're sent to the general masses. Every month, program members download the update and futz around until all of the bugs have been squashed.
It's beta testing without payment.
If you're interested in becoming a member, Major Nelson frequently posts invites on his social media accounts. Here's one from yesterday (just a warning, the codes have been claimed):
