Xbox One: Neues Preview Update liefert zahlreiche neue Funktionen wie Geschenke und mehr!

Microsoft möchte den Launch der Xbox One X mit möglichst vielen eingelösten versprechen optimal gestalten und ist zur Zeit sehr Updatefreudig. So hat man kurz nach der Veröffentlichung des großen Herbst Updates nun schon wieder das nächste Preview Update am Start. Das bringt unter anderem das lang ersehnte Geschenkfeature mit, mit dem es künftig möglich sein soll Inhalte im Xbox Live Store zu erwerben und einem Freund zukommen zu lassen.

Darüber hinaus gibt es auch Änderungen an den Achievements. So kann man Achivementlisten in denen man noch keinen Erfolg errungen hat verbergen.

 

NEW FEATURES

  • For Xbox Insiders in the Alpha ring, the Microsoft Store now enables gifting of select digital Xbox One games, “durable” downloadable content (DLC) (map packs, weapon skins, etc.), Xbox Live Gold, and Xbox Game Pass—right from your console! Just choose a game within the Store, select “Buy as Gift,” and send it to your friends or family members by picking their Gamertag or entering their email address.
  • NOTE: Digital gifting will be enabled for Preview Alpha @ 1:00PM PDT on 10/27 and is not tied to the system update. Please see Digital Gifting below for more information.
  • In addition to games and friends, you will soon be able to add club blocks to Home. We’re also making it easier to explore additional types of blocks at the bottom of Home by adding a new section under “Add More.”
  • We’re improving the setup experience to make it better for both new users and upgraders. The settings from your home console will now be saved to the cloud, just like your game saves. Whenever you set up a new console, you will have the option of applying these settings during the sign-in process.
  • Additionally, your console will now back up even more settings, including your TV & OneGuide settings. This expansion will provide a simple experience when you transition from one console to another using the settings backup to your external games and apps storage device.
  • The Xbox app for iOS and Android will now enable you to finish setting up your new Xbox One X console while it’s downloading the day one update. Additionally, we’ve also improved the process for enabling 4K output right out of the box.
  • Xbox’s new notifications provide an at-a-glance status of what activities you can immediately step into after you’ve had to step out for a moment. We’re adding additional notifications types when your system goes idle, including LFG posts, broadcasts, and Achievements.
  • We’re adding miniature Game Hubs for your most recently used games in the Guide. That way, you can access the great content on a game hub without having to leave the action.
  • Adults who have enabled the “Buy & download” online safety setting will now have an easier time purchasing games thanks to a passkey/password challenge directly in the Xbox dashboard.
