Xbox 360 system update released

4.5
Microsoft has begun rolling out a new Xbox 360 system update, according to various online accounts.

Xbox Live director of programming Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb said of the system update on Monday:

(1/2) An #Xbox360 update hits as early as tomorrow, mostly back end stuff— Larry Hryb (@majornelson) April 1, 2014

(2/2) Start an #XboxVideo rental on Xbox 360 & pick it up on another platform. That's one of the only new features.— Larry Hryb (@majornelson) April 1, 2014

Despite Microsoft switching focus to Xbox One in the run-up to the console's November 2013 release, Xbox chief marketing and strategy officer Yusuf Mehdi said last September that the company will continue to support Xbox 360 for years to come.

"If you look at Xbox 360 that platform [has] lasted for seven to eight years and it's going to go for another three years," he said. "We are going to continue to invest in Xbox 360 and the two devices can work in concert. In fact, we are going to ship over 100 new games on Xbox 360, so you will still be able to play your games, just not on the same exact box."

The next high-profile Xbox 360 game is Titanfall, which was originally scheduled to launch in March alongside Xbox One and PC versions. Following two delays, the Xbox 360 Titanfall release date has now been confirmed as April 8 in North America and April 11 in Europe.

I was surprised when I found out they were still updating the 360. I'm glad they are because they ruined the Xbox One...

Glad to see them still updating their older console, but sad to hear that it messed with some peoples internet/devices.

Sanctorum Microsoft need to move on. The 360 is as good as dead IMHO. I think Microsoft should focus on the XB1 and try to delay it being hacked/modded for as long as they an. Then again, I can't wait for a modified XB1 console.


It wont take long for a modified console to be released, there is already a prototype being worked on
