System Updates: Buy Xbox 360 Games On Xbox One, 16-Person Party Chat And More
The latest system update starts rolling out on Xbox One and the Xbox app today.
All of the features that hit preview earlier this month are rolling out today. There are also a few additions and updates, so check out details below. Thanks again for continuing to chime in on Xbox Feedback, and enjoy the new features!
New feature updates since Preview:
– Xbox Elite Wireless Controller improved thumbstick precision with firmware update: We heard from fans that you wanted to see improvements to the behavior of the thumbsticks on the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller, particularly when you are moving the thumbsticks diagonally. Based on this feedback, we’ve created a new method to calculate the position of the thumbsticks consistently, enabling thumbstick response that is more in line with what you are expecting. This method measures and uses the distance of the thumbstick position relative to the center focus point of the thumbstick base, instead of the standard method, which calculates the measurement using a two-dimensional plane. With the latest firmware update, you can expect increased accuracy of the thumbsticks on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller for even greater control.
– Xbox Accessories app: The Xbox Accessories app on Windows 10 now includes a page displaying the current firmware version, battery status, and other details about the controller. This detailed information about the controller is already available on the app on Xbox One.
– Include Party Chat in Twitch broadcasts: A top voted-for feature on Xbox Feedback and released in Preview, you can now broadcast Party Chat when using the Twitch app. If you are broadcasting from your console and in a party, you can invite other people to include their chat audio in your broadcast by enabling “Broadcast party chat” in the Twitch app settings. As mentioned in Preview, if a member of your party declines, they’ll still be able to chat in the party; they just won’t be heard in the broadcast. Additionally, as the party leader, you have the option to mute a party member’s chat audio, even if they opted-in. You can also include party members on Windows 10 PCs in your Twitch broadcast.

I'm not discouraged yet...here's some gameplay footage that's very reminiscent of CoD imo
Man I'm so fucking disappointed in Far Cry. I had to quit it man. There is no variety in the weapons.
the new one where you fighting w/ sticks and twigs lol?
I did preorder Quantum Break, mainly because Remedy has never let me down on balls to the wall action.
I'm still demanding for an Alan Wake sequel that shit was nice.

The New Direction For Gears Of War 4's Story
We've touched on how Gears of War 4 is tweaking the gameplay to the beloved series, but with this feature we want to focus on the game's story and The Coalition's approach to storytelling for the new generation of Gears of War. While visiting the studio for our Gears of War 4 cover story, we spoke to Gears of War 4's creative director Chuck Osieja and studio head Rod Fergusson about updating the series' tone, avoiding character archetypes, and the goal of launching a larger Gears of War universe.
Watch the video interview below to learn more about The Coalition's ambitions and the story fans will experience in Gears of War 4.

Sweet. I'm glad I held out for Sunset Overdrive.
Now they need to hurry up with Red Dead.
Microsoft Build conference highlights future of Xbox One
The Microsoft Build 2016 conference started today, and some rather interesting information was revealed for the future of Xbox One, Windows 10 and the Universal Windows Platform.
Opening with some impressive statistics, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 has been used by over 270 million people since it launched last summer. An anniversary update will be released this summer and incorporate a number of new features for both Xbox One and PC. First, biometric authentication will be included by default on Microsoft Edge. It will become the only browser to use this feature and be available on both PC and Xbox One. When trying to log on to browse the web, it will ask for fingerprint ID like some current cellphones in order to grant access. The PC used as an example on stage had a fingerprint scanner built into it, but they did not elaborate on how it would be included with other PCs or Xbox One, which will also use the feature. I'm guessing that an accessory will be available for Xbox One.
Microsoft Ink is a new feature that will take advantage of why so many people primarily use pen and paper: speed. It's just much faster to write something down on paper than it is to open an app, type something with your phone or computer, save the document, etc. What Ink aims to capture is the speed of the pen and paper brought to PC. The pen will constantly be connected to your PC. Clicking the top of it like you would a standard pen brings up the app on your PC. This functions similar to how turning on your Xbox One controller turns on your console as well. There was no lag on display and everything shows up on screen as it was written in the demonstration. The apps, like Sticky Notes, will all be smart apps as well. So, by typing in a note like "call mom tomorrow", Cortana recognizes that "tomorrow" is a date and saves it in your calendar.
Phil Spencer himself was also on stage discussing the future of the gaming platform, and it was reported that "all games will launch on Xbox One and Windows 10". That's as clear as you can get in saying that there is no longer any Xbox One exclusivity and that games will now all be released on both platforms. So, Halo 6 fans, get ready! This is sure to drum up some exciting conversation, but we'll have to wait and see as more information comes out on how Microsoft exactly plans to move forward with this program. We reached out to Microsoft to clarify and will let you know what we hear. I personally think it's great as it will lead to more sales and more games for us.
This summer, Cortana will be making her way to Xbox One as Microsoft is releasing the Windows 10 Anniversary update. Phil stated that she will be fully integrated into the new UI for Xbox One with the update, and will help with tips and tricks, schedules, playing background music, launching games and more. Unfortunately, he didn't elaborate much more, as he indicated they will be revealing more information this June at E3 in Los Angeles.
HoloLens developers will begin receiving their devlopment kits very shortly, as they have begun being shipped out today. Touted as the "first and only untethered holographics computer", HoloLens still has no release date for consumers yet. With the kits being distributed beginning today, we can expect it to be released in 2017 as a current year release would be cutting development time short. On a platform that is so new and innovative like HoloLens, developers will be needing extra time in order to filter out bugs. The retail price point has not been discussed, but the dev kit is several thousand dollars. Retail prices are always lower and we'll update you as we hear more.
Available today, every Preview program Xbox One can be turned into a development kit too. Simply by downloading an app from the Xbox Store on console, you will be able to switch modes at will. Tired of programming a game or app? No problem, simply switch the mode back to retail and continue on your way. The console does require a restart upon initially downloading the app, but that is the only time. Spencer reported that it was their goal to make every single Xbox One a devlopment kit in order to reach the developer in all of us. All of the assets will be available to anyone who downloads the app, which is free and available now in the Xbox Store on Xbox One.
The conference went on to discuss other new additions like medical schools using HoloLens to teach classes, changes to developer coding to allow easier access and more. No other gaming information was released, but as Phil stated we will hear more in June at E3.
What do you think about the gaming portion of Microsoft's Build conference? What about the Xbox One exclusivity? Let us know below.
