Microsoft Already Rolling Out September Xbox One Update
Microsoft says that it has begun sending out the new Xbox One update in advance of its September debut.
The update features a new media app that lets you play content off of a USB device, and which supports a variety of file formats (with DLNA support and MKV support due later in the year).
It also allows you to designate a party leader, boot the Xbox One straight to TV, enables new features for SmartGlass, and more.
For more on the update, check out the new video for the update featuring Microsoft's Larry Hryb.

Our Take
Nice mix of usability stuff as well as intriguing new features like those for SmartGlass.
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.
