Looks like Microsoft are going to be bringing the updates to Xbox One thick and fast as details have now emerged with regards to the April update.
It seems to be a much smaller update than we have had in the previous months, but all continue to point the Xbox One in the right direction. A post over on Neogaf has shown the following details:
- Game and app saves and updates. A game save progress bar will show you the status of your game saves. You will also be able to easily tell what games and apps are being updated or have been updated recently.
- Friends improvements. Notifications will be added to see when favorites and friends sign in to Xbox Live. This actually was one of the most frequently requested features from the first preview wave and we made it a priority to include it in the April update. Also, friends who are in multiplayer will be identified in the friends list. We’ll also add the ability to view friends’ most popular apps.
- Blu-ray 50 Hz video output support for content recorded at 50 Hz will resolve video playback issues some Xbox Live members in Europe are experiencing.
- Kinect voice and motion improvements will continue to fine tune the quality and reliability of Xbox One commands.
- Improved GameDVR video quality through compression algorithm improvements.
- Updates to Xbox One device management to address issues controlling TVs, set top boxes, and receivers that our customers have reported.
- New audio settings to tune how much volume is lowered when Kinect is used in communications.
If you are in the preview program, then expect to see the update making it’s way to your console in the next day or two.. We’ll update this with a date as and when we know a firm date for all others.
I hope they get together with Twitch and resolve the issues with the Live streaming quality but again this may be just me being picky =]
