Uitrol van de Xbox Summer Update is gestart

Afgelopen weekend is Microsoft gestart met het uitrollen van de Xbox Summer Update voor zowel de Xbox One en als de Xbox app naar de Xbox community. Vrijwel alle features van de preview uit juli zijn onderdeel van de update. Daarnaast zijn er een aantal aanvullingen gedaan zoals Language Region Independence voor Xbox One. Uiteraard zijn deze updates straks ook beschikbaar voor de Xbox One S welke vanaf 2 augustus verkrijgbaar is. Bij deze een korte samenvatting van een aantal hoogtepunten:

- Background Music: Today's update brings the ability for the highly requested feature of Background Music, which lets you listen to your favorite music in the background while gaming on Xbox One. The Pandora app, launching soon, is the first of many partners who will support Background Music, with Groove Music, iHeartRadio and other apps coming later.
- Cortana on Xbox One: Cortana is now available on Xbox One in the U.S. and U.K. With Cortana, gamers can expect more from voice commands on Xbox. In addition to more commands and greater accuracy with natural language and text dictation, Cortana provides the ability to use a headset or Kinect.
- Improved Game Collection: We've updated the Game Collection interface to make it faster and easier to find and launch the games you're looking for. Now you'll be able to sort, manage and see more of your Game Collection easily, quickly access your own 'Ready to Install' tab, update your games or apps using the new 'Updates' tab, and get more information about titles in your queue.

- Language Region Independence: Based on overwhelming fan feedback, we've enabled Language Region Independence to give gamers even more control over their Xbox experience. Language Region Independence allows you to choose any supported language on Xbox One, regardless of the location.
- Xbox and Windows Store convergence: We're starting to combine the best of the Xbox Store and Windows Store to give gamers a single cohesive experience across their devices. On Xbox One, we've streamlined the shopping experience to help you find the games you love faster and at the best prices. You'll be able to filter search results by genre, read reviews written by fellow gamers.
- Facebook Friend Finder: Now on the Xbox One, connect your Facebook account to your Xbox Live account to find your Xbox playing Facebook Friends.

- Improved sharing on Xbox One: We've made it easier to share your screenshots, GameDVR clips, and achievements on Xbox One. Gamers can now share their most epic clips and screenshots with the community right from home.
- Top Windows 10 PC games show up on Xbox Live: We're bringing the top Windows 10 PC games like League of Legends and XCOM 2 together with the Xbox Live community. Meaning, your favorite Windows 10 PC games will have their own Game Hubs on Xbox Live.

- 60 fps game clip recording with the Game Bar: Using the new Very High video quality setting in the Xbox app, you will be able to record your game clips in up to 60 frames per second from the Game Bar (Windows + G) once the Windows 10 Anniversary Update starts to roll out on Aug. 2.
- Windows Game Bar improved full-screen support: One of the most common requests we see for the Windows 10 GameDVR feature is the ability to use the Windows Game Bar with more games running in full-screen. We've added support for six additional games in full-screen mode with Windows Game Bar: League of Legends, World of Warcraft, DOTA 2, Battlefield 4, Counterstrike: Global Offensive, and Diablo III.

Tot slot is de Xbox app voor iOS en Android eindelijk verkrijgbaar. Met de Xbox app ben je altijd verbonden met de community van Xbox Live.
