Microsoft Details Xbox One Multiplayer & Party Updates
The March updates will prepare your console for the behemoth that is Titanfall.
Off the back of the Xbox One's first major update today, Microsoft has detailed some of the new multiplayer and party features coming in its second update in March.
The aim of these updates is to broadly improve the social experience on your console, with a particular eye on the release of the highly anticipated Xbox One exclusive Titanfall on March 11.
"Our March Xbox One system update will start rolling out in early March," said Xbox Corporate Vice President Marc Whitten in a statement. "We’re excited to get these multiplayer and party improvements out in time for the March 11 launch of “Titanfall,” the highly anticipated team-based online multiplayer game."
The second major Xbox One update will put greater focus on your somewhat marginalized friends list, bringing it front and center on the homepage of the Friends app. You will now have the option to click the 'Social' tile on your home page or say "Xbox, go to Friends" to immediately see who's online.
Party chat audio, which currently has to be turned on manually, will be turned on by default as soon as you start or join a party. Further, Party chat will now be separated from just the people playing your game, so you'll have the ability to chat with friends outside of your game if you wish.
Microsoft is also introducing an "Invite friends to game" option to multiplayer titles moving forward, which will appear inside a game's menu as a simpler option to set up online matches with your buddies. A 'Recent Players' list will be added, highlighting those you've recently played with in case you want to interact with them again.
Whitten promises more features in the update, the details of which will be shared in the days and weeks ahead.
"We’re lucky to have a passionate community that shares feedback. Thanks for helping us make Xbox One even better."

Xbox One Stereo Headset and Adapter Arriving in March
New Microsoft accessory set to release across Xbox One markets worldwide soon.
Microsoft has today announced the Xbox One Stereo Headset, set to release across Xbox One markets worldwide in early March.
The full range (20Hz – 20kHz) game and chat audio headset will feature over-the-ear speakers, a unidirectional microphone, and ship with a detachable Stereo Headset Adapter for straightforward access to audio controls.
For Xbox One owners who already own a pair of compatible stereo gaming headphones the adapter will also be available separately alongside the headset when it’s released in March. This will just enable chat audio; in this case, game audio will require direct connection with your Xbox One via an optical cable or TV via RCA cables.
The Xbox One Stereo Headset will set you back USD$80. The Stereo Headset Adapter will be available for USD$25.
Xbox One February Update Delayed
Tuesday's scheduled update has been pushed till "later this week."
The Xbox One update originally intended to go out on Tuesday has been delayed till later in the week, Xbox's Director of Programming has revealed.
"Update will ship this week, but not today," said Larry Hryb, speaking on Twitter. "The team is working on finalizing."
An exact date was not specified.
The February update comes with various back-end and front-end changes, including the ability to manage your console's storage, battery power indicators, and general improvements to stability. Additionally, Microsoft are also working on the second update due in March; it will focus on social features that aim to improve your experience of the Xbox-exclusive Titanfall, which is due for release on March 11.
IGN reviewed the Xbox One in November 2013, concluding that it was good but in need of refinement.

Let the fanboys tell it the XboxOne has tons of AAA, high quality exclusives. You not excited for Tittanfall? How about watching TV on your Xbox while yelling at Kinect like a idiot giving voice commands?
Only 7 pages? It's as dead in here. Where is the discussion for all these great games that don't exist for this over priced cable box? After Titnfall there is ...?

Lmao son u just going on every thread crying ...
E3 is going to make a lot of niggas on this board mad this year. I question how many people here follow gaming news daily. Phil Spencer has been saying for over a month now that they're holding off info on upcoming 2014 exclusives till E3 but some people just ain't listening.
