Xbox One Update Delayed to Later in the Week, 'The Team is Working on Finalizing'
Xbox One's big update was delayed today and pushed back to later this week an executive announced on Twitter.
"The February #XboxOne System Update will ship this week, but not today. The team is working on finalizing [it]," said Larry Hryb Twitter.
This first update of the year was supposed to bring a battery signal indicator, USB support for keyboards, system storage management, improved Kinect voice commands, and other features.
Polygon reported that this first update will make way for an even larger one coming in March.
Last month Microsoft announced a colossal Xbox One update is scheduled to repair online features that were more difficult to access than on Xbox 360, according to a report on Ign.
Microsoft's Chief Product Officer Marc Whitten told Engadget, there are strategies to combine features like Friends Lists, Parties, Avatars, and Achievements all in one spot, as the decisive reaction has been they are too distant.
"The feedback we've gotten is pretty valid," he said to Engadget. "Some of the social stuff is hidden or harder to use than it was on the Xbox 360. So you're gonna see us come out with an update where, well, we're going to fix those things."
"As a person who's been pretty involved in building Xbox Live for the last decade, I take it pretty seriously when people say it's harder to get into a party, and the defaults aren't right, and I don't like the model," said Whitten to Engadget.
