Xbox Design Head Mike Ybarra has announced at Gamescom that the new Xbox One update will add a number of new features. Many of them have been covered already, but newly announced features include transfers from your old Xbox One to an Xbox One X and a light mode.

Below is an example of what you can transfer to a new Xbox One X. Before you get the system, you can download all the 4K content for your games so it will be ready to go on the Xbox One X and back up all your settings and preferences before you go. You can then move over everything to an external harddrive or transfer over your home network.

Next is the Xbox One light mode, which lightens up all your windows from the console's traditional dark interface. This will be a lot help the menus pop a bit and will be user selectable during the next update.
