Upcoming Xbox One System Update Detailed By Major Nelson

Xbox One

Unlike the Xbox 360 that only saw major updates a few times a year, the Xbox One is getting almost monthly updates since their first major update in February. As a result, we have another one in the pipeline that Major Nelson has now given us some details about.

-Blu-ray player supports 50 Hz video output for content recorded at 50 Hz. We’ll also be updating the Blu-ray Player app in the coming days to round out these improvements.

-Controller and headset adaptor firmware updates will reduce audio static and improve wireless connectivity.

-Silent reboot after system updates and system update on demand now available. After this update, if your console is in Instant On mode, the update will happen automatically and return to standby upon completion. This means you won’t need to power on your console after an update moving forward. If you want to take future updates when available without waiting for your console to do it on its own, we’ve added this option under system settings. It will only show as available when there is an update to take.

This update is already being previewed by a select group, so hopefully we will see it pretty soon. Stay tuned for more information on that in the near future.
