The new update for the Xbox One is here, and it’s a big one – literally. Clocking in at just under 1GB, this update is a substantial one that changes the way we interface with the console. Now, hitting the Xbox button on your controller will bring up the sidebar menu rather than dropping you to the home screen. To go to the home screen, you’ll actually hit that Xbox button and then hit...
It’s been a while since we had a monthly update for the Xbox One. After a long string of consistent updates, we received the much-needed overhaul that sped up and streamlined the overall interface. Once that was out, the Xbox team concentrated on keeping things stable through the holidays. The updates are returning in February, and here’s what we can look forward to seeing on our Xbox...
November's big update to the Xbox One operating system looks to be huge. We know about the backwards compatibility, but that's not all that's coming. We've had a good idea since this summer of what we can expect when it hits, but today Microsoft's Director of Program Management, Mike Ybarra, brought us word on some more specifics. The full version is available at the source link below,...
The Xbox One May update is here and rolling out now. It's a bit more feature-bare than some previous updates, but it still adds some notable new functionality to the system. Xbox One users can now send and receive voice messages not only to each other, but to Xbox 360 users as well. This somehow was both something that the Xbox One team didn't see a huge need for and yet a wildly...
Microsoft announced this week the features gamers in the Microsoft's Xbox and Windows 10 preview programs can look forward to soon. Most of what Major Nelson had to show off this time concerns the Xbox app for Windows 10. The Game DVR feature, similar to the Xbox Record That functionality on Xbox One, will allow you to record footage of the game you're playing by pressing the Windows...
We got a hint of what we'd be seeing with the April Xbox One system update earlier this week, but now we have a better idea of what we can look forward to, and a lot of it has to do with voice communication. Once the update lands, Xbox One owners will finally be able to send voice messages not only to each other, but to Xbox 360 users as well. The biggest enhancement, though, comes to...
The big 2.50 update for the PlayStation 4 firmware, dubbed Yukimura, now has a release date, and it's a lot closer than we expected. The update will be available sometime tomorrow. If you're planning on booting your system up to play Bloodborne, you may want to do so a few minutes earlier than you were planning. The headlining feature of the update is also one of the most requested:...
The February update for Microsoft's Xbox One console is available for download right now, and it includes a variety of visible changes as well as a controller update. The controller update, which will require you to make a one-time connection via USB from your controller to your Xbox, will improve stability of the overall connection as well as making it much faster to sync the...
While we still don't know exactly what Xbox boss Phil Spencer is going to talk about at next week's Windows 10 consumer event, we do have details on the console's next monthly update to chew on while we wait to see if Windows 10 is coming to Xbox One. The February update is pretty light in comparison with some of the other updates as far as visible features go. In addition to the...
The PlayStation 4's 2.00 Update goes live today, and Sony has posted a video to detail what you can look forward to. The video skips over SharePlay, which it covered in a different video, and instead goes in-depth into some of the other features. The biggest of these is probably the USB Music Player. With this player, you'll be able to, as it describes, plug in a USB drive full of...
