Table of contents:
It's time to turn on the console and update. Microsoft has made the latest update for the Xbox One available to everyone in all the varieties that it currently has in its catalog. Whether it's the original Xbox One, Xbox One S or Xbox One X, you can all download the new _firmware_ that Redmond has released.
An update that finally brings everyone the long-awaited support to use with our console both the keyboard and the mouse, two basic peripherals in some titlesfor some users.It is the main improvement, but not the only one that will come.
More improvements
We leave the keyboard and mouse support for later, since now we will see other new features that arrive. So both Cortana and Alexa see their potential grow with more improvements. Now they add support for UK English so that some features can be controlled by voice. An improvement that we still cannot enjoy in Spain because there is no support for Spanish
Another novelty is the arrival of the application that gives access to the Amazon Music music _streaming_ service. Available only in the United States initially, it will gradually reach more countries for all those who have an Amazon Prime account.
Also the search system has been improved and obtaining results through the Xbox assistant.Content that appears on both Xbox Game Pass and EA Access is now included. Furthermore, when it comes time to get hold of a game and thanks to the Ready to Install system, you only need to download a minimal part to start using it.
Keyboard and Mouse
It is the most awaited improvement and that does not depend only on Microsoft. They enable the possibility, but now the ball remains in the developers' roof, who are the ones who must launch the appropriate patches for their titles that make them compatible with this possibility.
Among the first titles to take advantage of this improvement we find well-known games such as Fortnite and Warframe These are just two examples of a list that will grow little gradually gradually. These are the 16 input titles that are compatible:
- Fortnite
- Warframe
- Bomber Crew
- Deep Rock Galactic
- Strange Brigade
- Warhammer: Vermintide 2
- War Thunder
- X-Morph Defense
- Titles adding support soon
- Children of Morta
- DayZ
- Minion Master
- Moonlighter
- Vigor
- Warface
- Wargroove
And no, you're not going to need a specific model. We know that Razer will release a keyboard and mouse specifically for the Xbox One, but you can use almost any keyboard and mouse that can be connected to the console's USB.
We are downloading the update (having ADSL means that we have to take it with patience) to be able to test all these improvements. In your case, have you tried it yet? how about?_
