Microsoft has begun rolling out the most significant system update to the Xbox One since the game console launched in November 2013.
First announced in February, the update adds new features and fixes issues related to the Xbox One's matchmaking, 'party chat' and friends features.
The friends list is now front and centre on the homepage of the Friends app, allowing users to see who is online and what they are doing. Party chat is also turned on by default, allowing users to chat with their friends who are online, or everyone playing the game.
The 'Invite friends to game' option is also now available, making it easier to set up multiplayer battles. Players can also see a list of Xbox Live members they have recently played with, making it easier to stay in touch with friends or report a player for bad behavior.
Other updates include support for live streaming on the game-streaming app Twitch, 5.1 Dolby Digital sound, and 50Hz output to Xbox One, as well as a host of general improvements such as volume control, notifications of Xbox Live messages through SmartGlass, and support for Xbox One accessories.
