Xbox One April Update Detailed

Microsoft has announced details for the next Xbox One system update coming in April.

The update will add improvements to Kinect, friend notifications and improved GameDVR quality, among others. The full breakdown of the update, directly from Microsoft, can be seen below.

• Game and app saves and updates. A game save progress bar will show you the status of your game saves. You will also be able to easily tell what games and apps are being updated or have been updated recently.
• Friends improvements. Notifications will be added to see when favorites and friends sign in to Xbox Live. This actually was one of the most frequently requested features from the first preview wave and we made it a priority to include it in the April update. Also, friends who are in multiplayer will be identified in the friends list. We’ll also add the ability to view friends’ most popular apps.
• Kinect voice and motion improvements will continue to fine tune the quality and reliability of Xbox One commands.
• Improved GameDVR video quality through compression algorithm improvements.

This announcement follows the news that the Xbox One will be launching in 26 new countries, including Japan, this September.
