Xbox System Update Alert!
The next Xbox One system update is coming later this spring–and it sounds like a big one. Xbox engineering lead Mike Ybarra said on Twitter that this update, the Windows 10 Anniversary Update announced at Microsoft’s Build conference, should arrive for Preview Program members at the end of May or early June.
Speaking at Build, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said Microsoft will announce even more new Anniversary update features for Xbox One at E3 2016 this summer. The show is held in June and Microsoft just recently announced exactly when its briefing will be held.
The Xbox One is a Windows 10 device, as November 2015’s New Xbox One Experience update introduced Windows 10 as the underlying operating system for the console. The Anniversary update is also coming to PC, introducing features and tweaks such as improved support for stylus pens and a biometric sign-in option for the Edge browser. It also adds support for Microsoft’s Hololens augmented reality headset.
