#Microsoft har skickat ut en uppdatering till Xbox One. Tonvikten ligger på kommunikation och community, och möjligheten att livesända sitt spelande via Twitch blir verklighet när Twitch-appen uppdateras nästa vecka.

I övrigt handlar en hel del om förbättringar av multiplayerchatt, vänhantering och en handfull buggfixar. Microsoft patchar också in stöd för headsets, vilket kan vara lämpligt inför #Titanfall-premiären nästa torsdag. En bilhandlarentusiastisk Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb redogör för nyheterna i videon en bit ner.

Xbox One saknar fortfarande svenskt releasedatum, men importerade exemplar säljs av många butikskedjor. Det går också utmärkt att själv köpa sig ett ex från utländska butiker.
