Xbox One's Final Update Of 2014 Is Now Rolling Out
The Xbox One's November update is available now.
The update adds a number of new features, which Microsoft's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb outlines in the video below. You can now add a customized background, share your location in your bio, and tweet game clips directly from the console. Other additions include SmartGlass changes, better TV browsing, the ability to snap in Internet Explorer, and the ability to restart the console as opposed to turning it off and then turning it back on manually.
For a more detailed breakdown (beyond even what's in the video below) you can check out Major Nelson's blog, or head here. As Hryb mentions in the video, this is the last console update the Xbox One will receive in 2014.

Our Take
It's a small customization option, but I always appreciate being able to bring in my own images for display in the background. I also see myself taking advantage of the ability to tweet out game clips, too.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
