Forums - Microsoft Discussion - November Update for Xbox One

Once again Microsoft is providing owners with another fantastic update. I almost wanna call out Major Nelson on Twitter and tell him to tell the great folks working hard on these updates to stop. Enough already. We can only handle so much awesomeness. The mercy rule is in effect. You're making the other guys feel bad.

woah there partner, you're practically on the verge of indecent exposure.

Bleh, I'm looking forward more to a complete ui overhaul a-la xbox 360.


No please no. It's currently the best is on consoles ever. It's such a pleasure to use. Amazing stuff.



I really like the idea of using achievements I earn as a background. .

So question, is the X1 viable without Kinect? It seems a lot of the cool extra features are rendered cumbersome and/or useless without it. Like, snapping for example. It's the one thing that's stopping me from picking one up at the moment (the bundle would be Kinectless)

How does snap, screenshots and video record work without kinect?


All you have to do is hit the xbox button twice to snap things....



This one maybe a bit bland compared to their other updates, but MS are knocking Sony out the park with OS updates at the moment.

^ It will only get blander IMO once they add all the important features, as time goes on only smaller things will be added. However I really want voice messages, like now!!



looks awesome. Definitely loving the monthy updates MS are doing.

So we'll be able to use whatever pic we want for a background, sweet, so I won't need to really ever buy a theme. Thanks MS, although I'd still buy a theme if you guys ever offer dynamic themes like the PS3 had.

Double tapping the home button will bring up a small menu where you press left on the d-pad to go back to your game, up to snap an app, right to snap your latest app and down to unsnap. Also to record a clip you press X in that menu.

Screenshots are not available yet for as far as I know.
