Microsoft has today published more details on what gamers can expect to receive in the upcoming Xbox One system update, which is currently available to members previewing the new system updates.
New features within the latest Xbox One system update include updates to the Blu-ray player that will be rolling out in the coming days together with support for 50 Hz video output for content recorded at 50 Hz. This is particularly beneficial for users in regions where 50 Hz is the standard for broadcast television and video content, ensuring smoother playback and a more consistent viewing experience.
Enhanced Controller and Headset Functionality
Other features, as you probably already know, include controller and headset adapter firmware updates. These updates have been highly anticipated as they aim to reduce audio static and improve the wireless connectivity of the devices to the main Xbox One console. This means that gamers can expect a more seamless and immersive gaming experience, with fewer interruptions and better sound quality. For example, the reduction in audio static will be particularly noticeable during intense gaming sessions where clear communication is crucial.
System Updates and Convenience Features
Microsoft is also adding silent reboot after system updates and system updates on demand. This feature allows the updates to happen automatically and then return to standby upon completion if your Xbox One console is in Instant On mode. This is a significant improvement in terms of user convenience, as it minimizes downtime and ensures that your console is always up-to-date without requiring manual intervention. For instance, if an update is released overnight, your console will handle the update process silently and be ready for use the next day without any additional steps from you.
Additionally, the system updates on demand feature provides users with more control over when updates are applied. This is particularly useful for those who may want to ensure their console is updated before a big gaming session or when they have some downtime. By allowing updates to be initiated manually, users can avoid unexpected interruptions and plan their gaming activities more effectively.
