Microsoft hasn’t said when the Creators Update will be made available to the Xbox One community at large, but it seems reasonable to expect it sometime later this spring, about the time when PCs and phones receive it, too.Ĭorrection/clarification: An earlier version of this story didn’t specifically state that these features were rolling out as part of the Insider program until the final paragraph. The remainder will receive the updates over the next few weeks. If there’s any drawback to the new Creators Update additions, it’s that not everyone will see them right away. Only a subset of Insiders will begin receiving the update today, Microsoft said. Microsoft’s hinted before that audio enhancements like Dolby Atmos will be supported, and now they are: the new settings will allow you to add Dolby Atmos for Home Theater, Dolby Atmos for Headphones, and Windows HRTF support to your streaming media application or game. MicrosoftĬopilot mode isn’t just for playing with your kids, either-it’s part of better accessibility settings for those who may not be otherwise able to hold a controller. Copilot Mode allows two controllers to act as one, presumably allowing you to let your child roam around Goat Simulator, for example, while manually steering them to the next challenge. With Copilot mode, you can ease your kids into playing the same way you’ll teach them to drive: by taking the wheel. Copilot mode makes playing with your kids funĪnyone who has played video games with a young child knows that sometimes they simply want to watch Mommy or Daddy play, rather than jump in themselves. One of the problems that Microsoft has had to wrestle with is allowing users to go as deep as they can into the Xbox One user interface, without taking them too far away from watching entertainment apps or playing games.Ħ. Microsoft promises its new Xbox One Guide will be both faster and more intuitive. The idea, according to Microsoft, is to access your recently played games and pins quickly, as well as the media controls for any music you might be playing. With one touch of the Xbox button, you’ll bring up the new Guide screen, shown here. Oh, and if you haven’t selected a custom background, the new Home screen will change your background with hero art of the current game. The latest update pushes you to explore related content, with more prominent references to the Game Hub, and encouragement to interact with your Club or go Looking for Groups.
The Home screen used by the current, stable Xbox One build as well as the new Creators Update UI both highlight the game you last played at the top of your Home screen.
