The Xbox One ends annoying notifications with a new update that will add a "Do Not Disturb" mode

From Microsoft they continue to pamper their desktop console with constant updates and improvements and after the Christmas break they receive the new year with an update, the first of 2018 that adds a series quite interesting improvements.

The Xbox One team is preparing the first update that, as usual, will be enjoyed first by members of the Xbox Insider program. An already released _update_ introducing improvements and new features that affect achievements, Game Hubs and other features.

They will no longer interrupt our games

"

One of the most striking, especially for the improvement it can bring in terms of the social aspect, is the one brought by the arrival of the Do Not Disturb modeA functionality already present in the Xbox 360 and therefore inherited from the previous generation that will put an end to the most annoying and inopportune notifications."

With this function we can create a list of unwanted contacts that bother us with notices or notifications during games or if, for example, we are watching a movie. A way to put an end to messages that disrupt our leisure time.

"

But although it is the most striking, it is not the only improvement that will come and it is that there are new features in the Xbox LIVE Game Hub This becomes part of the Xbox Guide in the Mini Game Hubs section in which users will have access to the most outstanding moments of the community."

"

The Achievements are also improved and now you can follow the evolution of the Achievements and changes and comment on them on social networks. It is the Upcoming Achievements section that is included in the Xbox Guide and also allows you to control the Achievements that are close to being unlocked."

Similarly improvements can be seen in the automatic shutdown options, being able to choose between a series of predefined periods for the console to turn off automatically automatically.

The update has started rolling out to members of the Xbox Insider Program and it's a matter of hours before it reaches everyone. The next step, once it has been verified that it works correctly, is the general deployment, something that should still take a few weeks.
