Microsoft has been testing new features for Xbox One via its Xbox Insiders program. Last month it released many new features based on the community feedback to insiders for testing. After many rounds of testing and feedback, Microsoft is now rolling out these features to non-insiders aka general Xbox One users out there.

Microsoft has also talked about some new features that will come next to all Xbox One users after this update. These upcoming features will include ability to select the audio input and output sources for Party chat on the Xbox app for Windows 10, Kinect auto-zoom for Beam and Twitch broadcasts, and Captive Portal support for wireless internet on your Xbox One.

Coming to the current features update, read the new features in detail in the official changelog provided below.
