The Xbox One will get better every month for the foreseeable future

The Xbox One will get better every month for the foreseeable future

The monthly feature updates for Microsoft's Xbox One console have been mapped out well into the autumn, the gaming giant revealed on Wednesday.


Answering fan questions on Wednesday, Xbox chief Phil Spencer said the content of the feature-rich updates has planned through October, while monthly boosts will continue thereafter.


He tweeted: "We've worked through the feature list through October. MUs [Monthly Updates] will continue and features look good."


Microsoft has made no secret of the fact the Xbox One is a work in progress, which will continue to improve throughout the console's life span, through regular updates and additions.


Remote purchases in August


The next update, coming in August will bring remote purchases, through Xbox SmartGlass or Xbox.com, to the console.


It'll also see the addition of an on-screen warning when the controller's battery is low, the ability to turn off notifications when watching video, an improved social activity feed updates and 3D Blu-ray compatibility.


Spencer also told Twitter followers the firm is focused on improving install and load times for the console, but stopped short of mentioning when this'll be addressed in a monthly update.
