"Microsoft has prepared two system updates for Xbox One that will improve many of the system's features, including the problematic Party system. The first update will arrive in February, the second in March.

On February 11, you'll be asked to update your Xbox One as soon as it connects to the Internet. The update comes with many behind the scenes improvements ranging from general stability to improved fluidity of Kinect voice commands.

 On the front end of the update comes a feature that's been heavily requested by the Xbox community, the ability to manage your console's storage space. Once the update is installed, you'll be able to control the order that content installs, watch updates as they progress and view and organize your games and apps in separate lists.

Once the February update is installed, you'll also be able to see how much battery power remains in your controller right from the home screen. Additionally, you'll be able to use USB keyboards with Xbox One.

Microsoft says that these are just a few of the improvements that will be packaged into the update, and plans to release more information closer to the update's release.

The second update will arrive on March 4. This update is primarily to prepare Xbox One for the release of Titanfall. Details on this update are a little scarce, but Microsoft says that it will finally update the party and multiplayer systems significantly.

The February 11 update will mark the first update that the Xbox One has received since early December of last year. For more on Xbox One's future, including new information on Titanfall, stay tuned to IGN."

Hopefully the every xone is a devkit and modding capabilities it's gonna be part of this update... to me that's the system seller right there over any games or exclusives. Heck I'd even get titanfall if they supported modding on the xone

So glad all of this is happening before Titanfall! Can't wait to see what they fix with the Party Chat/Multiplayer.

The return of Master Chief.

Also it says "Live TV" instead of the usual "TV", is that pointing toward something?

Agreed! I predicted middle of January for the first update, but this works too! Also glad they are bringing management for apps and game/storage.

Makes you realize that 2014 wasn't so far away when talking about it in November/December.

I’m excited to be able to share details with you today about several product updates we’ll be delivering for Xbox One starting next week.  The team has been really excited to see the gameplay on Xbox One and the millions of hours of fun our fans have experienced since launch. We’ve also been busy listening to your feedback and working hard to incorporate it into Xbox One as soon as possible. We remain incredibly energized and we are aggressively working to make Xbox One better, faster than ever before.

Xbox One is a platform for continuous innovation and new consumer experiences over time.  Just as we did with Xbox 360, Xbox One will have regular updates to deliver new features and platform experiences designed to delight you.  We’re always listening to you and we love your feedback, so keep it coming.

February 11 system updates

On February 11, the first update will be delivered to customers who sign into their Xbox One.  It features many new improvements – including lots of behind-the-scenes updates for developers building apps and games for Xbox One, several new features we believe Xbox fans will love, stability and product updates to improve the customer experience, and continuous improvements to the quality of Kinect voice so commands become more fluid and responsive over time.  While we won’t be going into all of the details of the product updates today, we will be sharing more information soon. 

Some of the features you can expect to see on February 11 include:

The ability to see and manage your storage space. With this update, you will find it easy to find how much space your content takes up and better manage your content. You can also control your install lineup and more easily manage your download queue. We’ve separated My Games and My Apps into separate lists, so you can easily create separate queues for both. Now you can pick the order in which you want your content to load and we’ve added a boot progress indicator so you can better track updates while they load.

The battery power indicator is back! You can see it right on the home screen, so you can easily track how much battery life is left on your controller.

And, you will be able to use your USB keyboard with your Xbox One.

These are just a few of the many updates we will be shipping on February 11. We’ll share more details on these and other upcoming features in the coming weeks. We have several surprises in store that we think you’ll love.

That "Live TV" icon is interesting. Maybe it's just a name change. Although... original programming. But that seems a little far off.

Good stuff. I hope Project Spark allows you to use a USB keyboard in the Xbox One version of the game, since it makes it much easier to search for things in the in-game inventory.
