The Xbox One will resume its monthly updates in February

Xbox One monthly updates are back, just as Microsoft promised late last year. Let's remember that during 2014 more than 100 improvements were incorporated to the console system through this type of updates, which were suspended in December because Microsoft wanted to have the most stable and polished software possible for the Christmas date, and thus avoiding problems with the arrival of millions of new users due to the higher sales of the season.

But as we said, that pause in updates already has an end date: next month of February. There Redmond will release a new system update for all users that will bring Game Hubs as the main novelty.

Games Hubs consist of a new interface that will offer more information about each of the games that we have on the console. When entering the game hub of a title, it will show which of our friends are also playing it, how the achievements we have obtained in that game compare to theirs, and it will also allow us to access additional content such as videos and streaming , or the profiles of the most prominent users within that game.

"In the words of the Xbox developer team, these hubs are like a profile that encompasses all the game-related content available on Xbox Live. To access these hubs, simply select a game, then press the Menu button, and select View game hub."

In addition, in the visual section support for transparent tiles is added, a change that was already rumored a few weeks ago, and thanks to which you can get more out of the customizable wallpapers that were incorporated in the November update.

Lastly, added multiple enhancements to the TV feature on Xbox One. For example, coverage of Trending is expanded TV, the feature that shows which are the most commented programs on Twitter, to countries like Mexico, Brazil, France and Germany. It also adds support for more models of remote controls, the possibility of viewing video frames by forwarding or rewinding the paused TV, and what is most interesting, it will allow streaming of live TV to smartphones running Windows Phone or Android.

As mentioned above, all of these changes will be available in February for most users, however, those who are enrolled in the Xbox One trial program can access them now at its preview version .
