Microsoft Introduces New Update For Xbox One

Xbox has been ruling the roost in the field of gaming consoles since a long time back. This video gaming line launched by Microsoft includes a series of consoles as well as applications, streaming services, and the famous online network service known as Xbox Live. The most recent console launched in the series, Xbox One, includes numerous advanced and novel features. Due to these, the console is a huge hit among gamers worldwide, outdoing other popular gaming consoles such as PlayStation and Wii.

The latest patch released by Microsoft for Xbox One includes tweaks to the party chat feature. As the name suggests, this enables a group of people, say 8, to chat at the same time. More or less, it is video-conferencing that integrates with the gaming. According to the Microsoft live chat and support team, the new Version 1405 update announced by Microsoft, is all set to change the console's Get System Update button, which will now remain grayed out when users do not have any update to download. Now, if an Update Console text is available, you will get a notification saying that the firmware is ready for download.

According to sources, the company is still working on giving Xbox One owners the additional option to preload games they have pre-ordered from the Xbox Games Store. According to the Microsoft live chat and support team, this will help users to play the games they have already purchased more easily in their gaming consoles. The company spokesperson, Larry Hryb, replied to a thread titled Xbox One Needs Pre Loading [sic] Feature this year, by saying that the company is providing this option for all Xbox users. It was announce even last year by Microsoft's Marc Whitten, who served as the chief product officer for Xbox, that the ability to preload digital games wouldn't be available at the launch of the Xbox One. However, he assured gamers the company would be adding this feature in a short time. That was the most announced about the updates that were soon to follow in the Xbox One gaming console.

With the latest patch for Xbox One, Microsoft has strengthened the position of the gaming console, which is steadily proving to be tougher competitor for its contemporaries.
