BeckoningZebra1 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 An update with a plethora of new features will come to the Xbox One in June. EXTERNAL STORAGE SUPPORT With this update the Xbox One will be able to support up to two external hard drives at the same time. This will update allow the user to keep as much data as he desires on his external storage device, keeping the Xbox One's storage nice and clean. There will even be a one-step option to copy entire games to the storage device. Then whenever one needs to access this data on another Xbox, they will only have to sign in to their Xbox Live account and verify that they are indeed the owners of the content. REAL NAMES FOR FRIENDS The Xbox One allows the user to have an incredibly large number of friends-1,000 to be exact. With all these friends it can be hard to remember gamertags, which is why this June users will be able to find one another without the player's gamertag. They will be able to easily find friends using only their name. Every player will have full control of who views their real name, there will be options for sharing with all Friends, only specific friends, friends of friends, or no one. It is also important to note that no one in-game will be able to see players' real names. SMARTGLASS UPDATE Smartglass will be updated to contain all the features of OneGuide and support for Universal Remote Control. This will allow users to access all of their TV listings, channels, and App channels form their Smartglass device. Smartglass will also feature new ways of comparing stats with friends and the option of getting notifications when friends sign in or begin broadcasting a game- Just like being on the console itself. TV AND ONEGUIDE OPENING IN MORE PLACES In April specific members of Xbox Live were granted access to the features of TV and OneGuide. These features will now be available to Xbox Live members in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK. To take advantage of this, members will only need to have an HDMI connection between the TV and XBox One. NEW BENEFITS FOR GOLD MEMBERS AND MORE Xbox Live Gold members will have access to a new hub containing Games With Gold and Deals With Gold. For more reading on June's Games With Gold Click Here. This update will also allow members without a Gold subscription access to many gaming and entertainment apps. Automatic sign-in's will also come with this update. This update will be hitting the Xbox One in June. What do you think of this update? Are you excited about gaining access to all of these awesome features?

Twinreaper Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 "Hey girl, I just wanted you to know that I noticed you noticing me looking at you checking me out..." Dude, save it for the Advice Emporium. We can't be publocally giving away our chick gold! But anyway, Screech, regular updates wouldnt be needed if MS had released the console in full as it was meant to be. The whole update is nothing more than social upgrades coated in external.storage support. I mean cmon....we had to wait until now to even have flash stick support on it? The update is something that fixes a goof they made rushing the console out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
