Another Day, another FEAST!!! Xbots: Guess what they have planned for Dinner this time!!!

[PS5 Pro]

For the Appetizers, we have a new and improved Skype functionality

We know you love hopping on video calls with friends and family via Skype for Xbox One, but it's about to get even better. While you can already Snap other apps into Skype for Xbox One, tucking them neatly into the corner while you're chatting your pals up, wouldn't it be nice if the reverse was true, and you could Snap a friend into the corner and continue to play "Forza Motorsport 5" while you talk?

Well, this new Snap experience is coming to Skype for Xbox One. It's headed your way now, and you can read all about it (and see it in glorious, full-featured action) over on the official Skype blog!

Now for the Main course we have...

With the next system update coming in June, we’re thrilled to announce two of your most-requested features will be here soon: external storage support and real names for identifying your friends.

Since our launch of Xbox One last year, we’ve been hard at work to continue making Xbox One the best destination for all your gaming and entertainment experiences. Because of the way we’ve designed the Xbox One platform, we’ve been able to continually improve the product for you with a more regular cadence of system and app updates. Your feedback for what you want most has been our guiding light for these updates, and will continue to be as we work to bring the fan-favorite features you want most.
Real names and external storage support are just the beginning for June. With this update, Xbox Live is being improved in a number of ways as we announced last week. You will also be able to take advantage of great new SmartGlass features, including OneGuide and Universal Remote Control, select an account for automatic sign-in, and for Xbox One owners in Canada and Europe, get access to OneGuide and more TV, SmartGlass and voice features.

Easily Increase Games Capacity with External Storage SupportIt couldn’t be easier to increase your storage capacity of games and apps with the external storage support features we’re bringing in June. Your Xbox One system will soon support up to two external hard drives at once. Simply plug in your 256 GB or larger USB 3.0 external hard drive and once formatted, copy and move games, apps and game add-ons to increase your storage capacity at home.
This is also a great way to take your content to a friend’s house and get straight into a game directly from an external drive. You’ll need to sign in to Xbox Live if you’ve purchased your content digitally or insert a disc to verify your game ownership when you take your content on the road. The great benefit here is there’s no need to wait to re-download your game and all the DLC. With external storage support in June, you can also choose to copy full games and all of the associated content in one easy step.

Real Names Makes it Easier to Identify FriendsWith Xbox One you can have 1,000 friends and infinite followers, but as these lists grow it can become increasingly more difficult to remember the people you know by their gamertag alone. Now with real names feature you can recognize people on your friends list and more easily discover people you already know who are on Xbox Live.
Most importantly, we heard your feedback that to make this most useful you need full control. You’ll be able to share with all your friends, a subset of your choosing, friends of friends or none at all. The choice is yours. Also, your name doesn’t show up in games, and you can change your settings any time from your profile and when adding new friends.
SmartGlass Provides Access to full OneGuide and Universal Remote Control, Pin Reordering and MoreWe’ve made a ton of changes to your SmartGlass app for Xbox One. After getting great feedback from our SmartGlass beta, we’re thrilled to be bringing the entire OneGuide experience and Universal Remote Control to SmartGlass. Now in supported markets you can view all of your TV listings on your SmartGlass device and set and view your favorite channels and app channels on your smart phone, tablet or PC. With the Universal Remote Control, you can also easily switch channels, set new recordings and select and control recorded content from your DVR. Another great companion feature now in SmartGlass is pin reordering. With the touch of your finger you can easily organize your pins in categories or favorites based on your preferences and have those changes refresh to your console.
Other improvements to SmartGlass will help you stay current on what you and your friends are up to, even when you’re away from your console. We’re bringing hero stats and activity feed front and center, and adding more ways for you to compare achievements via SmartGlass whether you’re on a friend’s profile or viewing a game from the activity feed. Just like on the console, you can choose to get notifications on your smart phone, PC or tablet when a favorite friend signs into their console or starts broadcasting a game. For many devices, you can even choose to start watching the broadcast wherever you are.
Expanded TV and OneGuide Soon Available in More MarketsThe TV and OneGuide features we began sharing with select Xbox Live members in April will be available in June to everyone in Canada, UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy. The update will bring OneGuide, alongside Favorites and App Channels, for people in these markets who have their TV connected to Xbox One via HDMI-in. Additional features in these markets include Kinect voice commands for controlling your set-top box and other AV equipment. We’ve also updated TV and OneGuide settings to provide better power management and control of your devices and improved compatibility with more devices.
New Gold Membership Benefits, Access to Apps for All and MoreWith this update, you’ll find a new hub in Xbox One for exploring all of the great benefits available to Xbox Live Gold members, including Games with Gold and Deals with Gold. Also, with the Xbox Live Gold changes announced last week, shortly after the Xbox One system update becomes available in June all Xbox Live members will be able to access popular gaming and entertainment apps without a Gold membership.
Finally, we’ve made it possible for you to choose an account for automatic sign-in on your Xbox One – another much-requested feature from fans like you.
Coming soon, these features will be available to members previewing Xbox One system updates as they help us work through final improvements. This system update will become available to the full Xbox One community in June. We look forward to hearing what you think and keep the feedback coming.

And for desert we have...

Spoiler

You guys enjoy, this game is XB1/PS4/PC ONLY (sorry last gen'ers)

[Heretic]

[marcuz]

[PS5 Pro]

Don't you have to pay to use Skype?

On XB1 skype is FREE
I make calls regularly to houses and cellphones via the XB1/Skype
Most underused/less talked about features of the XB1.

More fukkeryyyyyyyyyyyyy

Don't overuse the gif bruh

why you using the ps4 version of batman, breh. we all know the xbox 1 version will look inferior

We all know? What do we "all know" bruh?
Well, we all know you a fan of the playstation brand. And you'll say things without knowing if its true
shyt, sony just the other day had on there website that Watchdogs is 1080p/60fps

So if that is how the company rolls, I can't expect better from a frustrated starved out stan

As of today, we don't even know when this game will drop. It could be a 2015 title
The XB1 will be MORE powerful than the PS4 by 2015
Sorry if sony and the rest of the fanboys didn't read the memo
Direct X 12, Tiled Resources, And more experience with how to effectively use the Esram =

what a horrible example. the ps4 version of watchdogs is still superior to the xbox 1 version. how about we put our accounts on the line? bet AK will run better on the ps4

 

[Lost His Smile]

Put our accounts on the line
Bruh, Marcuz with a "Z". Would Jay-Z put his career on the line vs Papoose
This is obviously a big deal to you, but pumping your dumbass chest out won't make the game BETTER on ps4
You hope it is, and you drank the kool-aid forgetting that one system is known to be tough to program for
7 yrs ago, sony was in this position and things like this happened...
EA 'tech. support' explains PS3 Madden frame rate issues | Joystiq
All sony had to do was LIE and say the PS3 was more powerful, ppl like yourself ate it up and repeated it enough that the lie is considered fact by the majority of you. Insisted it was true
PS4 drops, and everyone goes "So the 360 was more powerful"
So look bruh, you dudes are really immature. I'm not making up Direct X.12, Tiled Resources/etc
But you guys been making up that the PS4 has it too, or that the alternative is equal
The Cloud can't help.. Dedicated Servers isn't a deal breaker/etc.
Well, have fun telling yourself you have games to play this year

Dude talking about Skype....

And you here hating on skype

Auto sign in?

Mine does that soon as I walk in the room.

That would be seeing you and signing in. Auto signin means it signs you in as soon as you hit the power button

Use the PS4 youtube channel in an box propaganda thread brehs

Say bruh, what brings you into this thread. You wouldn't be jelly about something would you?

 

[marcuz]

Put our accounts on the line

i didn't read any of that, so w/o crack ramblings, lets try 1 last time. do you want to bet the ps4 version will be better than the xbox 1 version, yes or no.

 

[PS5 Pro]

i didn't read any of that.

Then the conversation ends where you ended it

 

[marcuz]

Then the conversation ends where you ended it

i glossed over your crack ramblings and strawmans, you didn't answer any of my questions though.

how is xbox 1 feasting off the PS4 version of batman? do you want to bet the ps4 version will trump the xbox 1 version? i think you know the answers to these questions already

Wouldnt it see you when you power it on ??

Well sir, I already went into things like Direct X.12 and Tiled Resources
Thing is, this game doesn't have a release date yet. And neither does Direct X.12/tiled resources
They say by the end of the year. Delays could happen. Batman could drop in September
How much more advanced will developers be? They said 6-12months and the XB1 should be on par with the PS4
Then with all the other stuff I mentioned, it'll be MORE POWERFUL. To be continued of course
But to just say "Nah, look at the specs" only shows that you or whoever doesn't even understand the specs they trying to read
Cuz the Xbox One specs get overlooked by sony fanboys... 24/7/365

The X360 was always more powerful than the PS3, but that didn't stop any of you from BELIEVING the opposite
Why should anything change now

Wouldnt it see you when you power it on ??

You don't have to stand in front of the console to turn it on, and if you walk away, and someone else plays?
It might ask to sign in/etc. This erases all that hassle. Not a big hassle, but I did miss the feature from the 360
I didn't even know I missed it, I just sometimes had to sign back in and it would be mildly annoying
So I'm happy for this
