Unless you’re in the Xbox preview program, you will have been waiting patiently for the latest system update to hit your Xbox One. Well good news… it’s here!
Rolling out worldwide right now, the system update for May may not be the biggest update ever, but it does bring some lovely new features that will further cement Xbox One as the premier gaming console.
Features are as follows:
- Voice Messages – You can now send and receive voice messages from the Xbox One messages app. This is the No. 1 feature requested in the Friends and Parties area on the Xbox Feedback site.
- Power On/Off from Xbox One SmartGlass – The Xbox One SmartGlass app for Windows, Windows Phone, iOS and Android are being updated to let you power your Xbox One on and off when your devices are on the same home network as your console.
- User Selectable Power Mode – We are also altering the initial setup experience on Xbox One worldwide to enable you to select your preferred power mode between Instant-on or Energy-saving mode.
- Dedicated Servers for Party Chat – We will start to expand the availability of the party chat relay services beyond preview members to a broader audience as we continue to fine tune the feature and scale out the servers needed to support party chat relay services.
Keep an eye out for the update hitting your console soon.
