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.

Has there been a date for this update yet? Or is it still just 'sometime in April'

Out of all those new add-ons, I like the reboot one the most. I can see myself getting irritated at having to get up to restart the console.

I was quite surprised whenever I noticed the Xbox one did not have auto reboot but the Xbox 360 did.

really excited about all the updates...won't be happy until an update to the blu ray player to support 3d is added. sucks that i have a 4k tv with beautiful 3d and have to buy a separate blu ray player to watch them

I'm glad they have the auto reboot like on the 360.

Thespian I am loving these updates every month. The system is on the way to being amazing!

L115 I hope they hold to the rumors and fix the Amazon Instant/Netflix video stuttering problem. It's really annoying and should be done before a "reboot" option. Any updates are always helpful though.

I havnt had any problems with Netflix on my xbox one. Is your connection wired or wireless?

I thought that was only me that happened to. But on the xbox 360 it runs good and on the xbox one it stutters. Glad it wasn't just me, i thought it was my internet. Yeah they have to fix that.
