The new update should be available next time you turn on your Xbox One
Microsoft Corporation’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) has just announced that users of its Xbox One platform can expect a new system update next time they connect their console online.
Larry Hyrb (aka Major Nelson) of the Xbox Social team revealed through his official twitter account that the update was on its way, and would be available to users in the next few hours. The update in case has been numbered 6.2.13326.0 (xb_rel_1508 13326.0.150810-2029).
Microsoft usually releases updates and patches for its Xbox One console at least once every month, and adds features requested by users and members at the Xbox community forums. There have been countless different features added through these monthly updates, and there will be more to come in the coming months.
But unfortunately, this time there are no new features to be added to the Xbox One console. Major Nelson says that this update does not add anything new to your current Xbox experience, but rather fixes minor issues and bugs. This August update also prepares your Xbox for the upcoming New Xbox Experience, which was announced by Microsoft back at E3, and is set to release this November for all Xbox One users. The new dashboard is a complete overhaul of the existing one and according to the Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, has been built around “speed.”
One specific fix that has been the highlight of this update is that the well-known party chat application on the Xbox One now has less bugs and players who reported problems earlier, with the application should expect a better experience after this update.
If you have the instant-on mode enabled on your Xbox One, you should receive the update automatically. However, if you want to manually trigger the update, you can select the system update button found under system area in the Xbox One console settings.
