June Xbox One Update Adds Real Name Support And Other Handy Options

The next release of what appear to be monthly firmware updates for Microsoft’s Xbox One console will add a handful of useful options, including real name and external drive support, according to pxj เข้าสู่ระบบ a summary of the changes that Microsoft shared with Kotaku in advance of an official announcement(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); The real name and external storage options will give the Xbox One its own variation on features offered for the PlayStation 4 and Wii U, respectively. Other changes include the ability to set the console to automatically sign in a specific system user and improvements to SmartGlass. Users of SmartGlass, the phone/tablet second-screen app, will be able to run the TV-listing OneGuide and even re-order the pins of preferred apps that appear on the Xbox One homescreen with their fingertips. (You can only do this last thing on the console itself by moving a given pin to the start of the stack, one at a time.) The hard drive option will give users extra storage for saving games, downloadable content expansions and apps. The system will support up to two drives at once, treating them as the default destination for downloaded content. Drives will need to be at least 256GB and support USB 3.0 connections. Games can boot off the drive, and the drives don’t need to have their own power supply. Microsoft is suggesting that people take their drives to their friend’s house to then use their games there, though they say that doing that will require that the person with the winner55 ทางเข้า สล็อต drive either sign into Xbox Live to confirm their ownership of any game they had bought via download or insert a disc to confirm they own the game. If you’re comparison-shopping, the Wii U also supports external drives, though Nintendo advises users to use self-powered drives. Sony does not support external storage but uses a standard internal harddrive that users can swap out on their own. Swapping out a drive in the Xbox One voids the system’s warranty. As for Microsoft’s real name system, an Xbox Live user will be able to set an option to display their real name next to their Gamertag for all of their friends, specific friends, or none. Those real names won’t show up in multiplayer games and will only be seen at the system level.an official announcement Again, by comparison, Wii U does not support real names. The PS4 does, since launch, but handles them differently. On Sony’s console a user sends a specific person on their friends list l86.com สล็อต a “real name request”. The other person has to accept it, at which point, both users appear to each other, on the system level, with their real names. The PSN gaming names don’t appear at the system level anymore, though those real names don’t appear in games. There is no way to do bulk real-name changes a la Microsoft’s new plan. Microsoft did not say exactly when in June the new update will hit, but they did indicate that it will be timed to hit shortly before the recently-announced plan to remove the Xbox Live Gold requirement for video streaming apps.
