If players decide to record longer clips, they can still trim and edit the recorded gameplay to be the length they desire.Īccessing your achievements in-game is becoming quicker, as it is being added to the Xbox One guide sidebar.

The options available to players will be 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds, 1 minute, 3 minutes, and 5 minutes. That length is currently set at 30 seconds, but with the new update, players can specify how long they want Game DVR to record. Since launch, saying “Xbox Record That” or hitting the “Record That” button on the system menu has recorded a game clip of a fixed length. Players in the party must accept an invitation to have their voice sent over the stream. To this point, players streaming while in a party have only been able to broadcast their side of the conversation. In addition, if you’re in a party and streaming using the Twitch app, you'll be able to broadcast your party chat over the stream. New party chat settings will also be arriving on Xbox One, as players will be able to opt to output party chat to your headset and speakers simultaneously. This is also being added to the Xbox app on mobile devices. Parties on Xbox Live are also getting a boost up to 16 people, which is another step up from the 12-person parties Xbox One has featured since last fall. Now, a separate section of the Xbox One still will display, showing Xbox 360 games that are able to be run on Xbox One. Previously, players who wanted to buy an Xbox 360 game that worked with Xbox One had to do so either on the Xbox 360 itself or through a web browser. One of the biggest additions to this update is the ability to purchase Xbox 360 games that have been enabled for backward compatibility with Xbox One in the Xbox One game store.

The update, which is hitting for members of the Xbox One Preview Program today, is adding some highly requested features. Xbox One has been steadily pushing through new features since its launch in 2013, and the next round of updates looks to further synergize the experience for those who like the backward compatibility functionality the console added last year.
