Πληθώρα νέων χαρακτηριστικών έρχονται στο Xbox One

Μια σειρά αναβαθμίσεων λογισμικού για το Xbox One ετοιμάζει η Microsoft που εστιάζουν σε νέα χαρακτηριστικά, αλλαγές και βελτιώσεις που ζητούσε η Xbox κοινότητα. Μια από τις σημαντικότερες προσθήκες που θα έρθουν σύντομα στην κονσόλα, είναι η δυνατότητα να βάλετε ως εικόνα προφίλ όποια φωτογραφία θέλετε εσείς, χωρίς να περιορίζεστε στις προεπιλεγμένες που προσφέρονται έως τώρα. Επιπλέον στο My Games and Apps θα μπορείτε πλέον να διαχωρίζετε τα παιχνίδια του Xbox 360, από αυτά του Xbox One, χάρις την προσθήκη ενός νέου φίλτρου. Παράλληλα, πλέον μπορείτε να φιλτράρετε και τα posts που εμφανίζονται στο activity feed σας, ενώ μπορείτε να καρφιτσώσετε κάποιο συγκεκριμένο post στο προφίλ σας. Επιπροσθέτως, σύντομα θα καταφθάσει και το Arena on Xbox Live μέσα από το οποίο θα μπορείτε να διοργανώνετε τα δικά σας τουρνουά και να συμμετέχετε σε άλλα, ενώ θα προστεθεί στο σύστημα και το Party Overlay. Πρόκειται για ένα μικρό ημιδιαφανές παράθυρο που μπορείτε να το τοποθετήσετε όπου θέλετε στην οθόνη και το οποίο θα δείχνει ποια άτομα είναι στο party σας και ποιος μιλάει ανά πάσα στιγμή. Τέλος, θα γίνουν πολλές αλλαγές στα Looking for Group και τα Clubs.

Πατώντας το σχετικό κουμπί που βρίσκεται παρακάτω μπορείτε να διαβάσετε αναλυτικές πληροφορίες για όλα τα νέα χαρακτηριστικά που θα μπορούν να απολαύσουν οι κάτοχοι Xbox One.

Τα νέα χαρακτηριστικά που είναι πλέον διαθέσιμα για όλους:

Profile and Activity Feed

New ‘Join broadcast’ button in your profile, one of the many ways to access the game stream of someone broadcasting their gameplay.

In your Activity Feed, we’re adding the ability to hide individual posts, pin posts to the top of your feed, and filter posts by friends, games or Clubs.

Clubs and Looking for Group (LFG)

When you create an LFG post, as the owner you will be able to see new vetting cards that include hero stats from gamers interested in joining your party. Hero stats are contextual to the game you’re playing, showing you relevant stats like kill/death ratio, rank, or score.
Achievement hunters, this one is for you! You will be able to search LFG posts from the Achievements tab, related to the Achievement you’re trying to finish.
We’re adding the number of open LFG posts to the Game Hub and Club Hub headers.
Have you made a successful LFG post that you want to create again? Now you can see previous LFG posts that you have created, participated or shown interest in, and can copy them to create new posts.
When creating an LFG post, see all the recent tags you’ve used and easily select them.
Club owners and admins will be identified and labeled in their text posts to better help them stand out and manage their community.
Club owners and admins can pin a post at the top of their Club feed.

My Games and Apps, and Settings

In ‘My Games and Apps,’ we’re adding the ability to filter your game library by platform – Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Τα χαρακτηριστικά που δοκιμάζονται από τους preview χρήστες τώρα και θα καταφθάσουν σε όλους στο άμεσο μέλλον:

Arena on Xbox Live

In addition to World of Tanks on Arena in partnership with ESL, later this month Killer Instinct on Arena is back for select Xbox Insiders! You can discover, register, and play in both official and user-generated tournaments in Clubs across Xbox One and Windows 10. Get notifications when your match is ready, enjoy automatic results reporting, and show off the results on your Activity Feed when you’re done.

Want to create your own Killer Instinct tournament? Starting this month, Club owners and administrators can create and host tournaments in their Clubs. Download the Xbox app (beta) on your Windows 10 PC, go to your Club and click on the “Tournaments” tab then select “Create tournament.” Fill out your tournament info and publish your event. Other members of that Club, or guests if they are allowed, on either PC or Xbox One can then discover, join, and play in your tournament.

As Arena continues to grow, be on the lookout for more tournaments with games like Halo Wars 2 and Smite, as well as gamer-created tournaments for World of Tanks. And watch for more details about our first public Arena-powered prized tournament: The Killer Instinct Battle for New York, where eight top Killer Instinct players will win a trip to compete for over $10k in cash and prizes in our New York Microsoft Store studio. We’re really excited to bring the excitement of competitive gaming to the community on Xbox One and Windows 10 – it’s never been easier to compete on Xbox Live.

Party Overlay

We’ve recently shipped several multitasking features, including the Achievement tracker, to improve your gaming experience. With this update, we are adding a new overlay that will tell you who’s speaking in your Party, without having to open the Guide. When you are in a Party, go to the Guide to enable the overlay. Just like the Achievement tracker, you can choose where on the screen you want to place the overlay and how transparent it will be. The window will show the Gamertag of the player whenever they speak, and when no one is talking, the window will be invisible. This is particularly useful for Looking for Group and other scenarios where you might not know all the members of your Party.

Fan-Requested Feature Updates

Building on the update we shipped last month, we are continuing to improve features based on input from the community, which you can read about below:

Share your Looking for Group post on the Activity Feed or through a message.
Unfollow a Club or Game Hub directly from your Activity Feed.
Your profile will display your Arena tournament history and upcoming tournaments.
For Beam and Twitch broadcasts, you will now have an option in the Guide for your Kinect to locate you automatically.
Captive Portal support for wireless internet is coming to Xbox One, which allows for Wi-Fi authentication through a browser. Great for colleges, hotels, or public Wi-Fi locations.
Filter posts on your Activity Feed on the Xbox app for iOS and Android.
On the Xbox app for Windows 10, we’re adding the option to select the audio input and output sources for Party chat.
