Updates bring new set of highly requested features and plenty of upgrades on existing features.
Larry Hryb, Xbox One's spokesperson, gave a detailed description of the updates. He said mobile payments are one of the features requested by the gamers.
An Xbox One update includes mobile download and payment options.
This will let gamers purchase games using mobile phones or via the Xbox web interface. Gamers can also download the item directly to home consoles if they're away.
There's a similar feature on PlayStation 4.
If the gamers set the Instant On and the proper online features are enabled, they can remotely buy items on their mobile phones that will show up on their Xbox One library.
Xbox One's activity fee lets users see more relevant status updates like uploaded video clips and achievements.
Gamers can also post short updates to their own feed that looks like a Tweet and share some of their friends' statuses with followers and friends.
Updates also addressed the battery issue. There's now a low-battery indicator on the dashboard that tells gamers the battery status while playing without pressing any button or heading out to any option menus.
The Xbox One team also granted the request of players to disable notifications during videos and avoid interruptions during the game. It can be toggled on or off from the Xbox setting menu.
Gamers who are film enthusiasts, as well, can watch Blu-ray films in 3D.
Gamers can now avail of updates. If auto-update is not on, a gamer should go through the steps that update their Xbox One to the latest OS version.
