Upcoming system update adds auto-reboot to Xbox One

4.6

Microsoft offered a few more details on upcoming updates for Xbox One in the form of three new features that testers can preview. First, firmware updates for the Xbox One controller and headset adapter will improve wireless connectivity and are expected to reduce static heard over the headset. Microsoft also plans to update the Blu-ray player app and add support for 50 Hz video output. Lastly, the console will quietly reboot following future updates, so owners won't need to manually turn their systems back on after they update, providing the system is in Instant On mode.

Microsoft discussed a suite of SmartGlass options for Xbox One last week, bringing snap functionality, mobile Xbox Live alerts and easier navigation to the companion app along with the ability to view Xbox content on any Microsoft device. The company also detailed improved voice commands and friend notifications in mid-March, announced plans for external storage support on the system last week and just announced an update to the Xbox One YouTube app yesterday to allow users to upload clips to the video platform.

Oasis Another controller update? I wonder if it'll be optional like the titanfall one or mandatory, because not everyone has a play and charge kit or a compatible cable to be able to download it to the controller.

To be honest with you, I think that they should've just added the play and charge kit in with the xbox bundle... Im personally not going to waste like the extra 30$ for it.

people been asking this since the 360 came out but microsoft wont do it because its a good money making for them and you know how bill gates is he needs his 1bil a year :p

The update on the controller is for people who have the xbox one headset adapter. It allows for you to use xbox 360 headsets on xb1. So if you use the basic headset still no update required.

Sounds like stuff that should have been tested and done before the console was released...Lazy and impotent devs.
