Xbox One April system update now live

Most of the fixes and enhancements in the April preview of the Xbox One system software update have made it into the final version, so make sure to grab it ASAP. We’re talking Party chat improvements, Game hub links, updated Achievement notifications and a new What’s On area.

The voice messaging and dedicated servers for party chat were not apparently ready to go, so they will come at a later time.

Check out the official announcement below along with a video showing off the new features.

The April system update is rolling out today, bringing you another round of new features that will make your favorite Xbox One experiences even better. Whether you want easier access to game content, troubleshooting help with party chat or improved achievement notifications, we?ve got something for everyone this month.

  • Party chat improvements ? Additional icons and notifications within the party chat experience to help you understand your connection and microphone status. 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 ? 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.
  • Achievement notifications ? With this update, 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.
  • What?s On ? The What?s On area is now available for Xbox One users in the U.S., Canada, and the UK. In it, you?ll find links to popular videos, games, movies, TV shows, game broadcasts and clips, along with Trending TV shows if you have configured OneGuide for your Xbox One console.

We are keeping voice messaging and dedicated servers for party chat in preview as we continue to fine-tune them based on feedback from preview program members.
