Xbox One April system update now available for preview members

4.4
The April system update for Xbox One is now available to preview members as announced on Major Nelson's blog. The April update will be coming in two waves, with the first wave already out. More features will be coming next week so stay tuned for more details. Check out the details of the first waves content listed below.

  • Party chat improvements – Party chat is being improved with troubleshooting guidance for Xbox One owners. The Party App will help you get your microphone enabled and show you when privacy settings or networking issues are blocking communication with particular party members.
  • Game hub links – Members can more easily discover game hub content from activity feed items. You’ll see activity feed items when any of your friends follow a game, and you’ll also be able to get back to a game’s hub from activity feed posts related to the game – including feed items about the game’s achievements, game clips and screenshots. Finally, we’ve added a link to game hubs from the game’s page in the achievements app.
  • Achievement notifications – With this preview release, you’ll also see the achievement’s description in the notification so you know what you did to earn this achievement without having to open the achievements app. If you do choose to open up the notification to see the achievement details, we’ve also made some performance improvements to make loading the achievements app from a notification faster.

Radian Wow, those are some awesome update features. (Being sarcastic). Honestly I thought MS nailed the party chat on 360...why so many difficulties now?


I agree as well. The part chat improvements being released in April are a joke.

Achievement update is a huge plus for me. Hate waiting five minutes for it to open up.

None of the new things excited me as much this update. Maybe they will have a more interesting update next month!

I've been having the odd problem with party chat, so let's hope it's all fixed in this update.
