After a lengthy break for Christmas, even longer than TD's in the Dáil, Microsoft have resumed their monthly schedule of rolling out updates to the Xbox One console with user requested features.

This month it brings lots of extra goodies with it.

Controller improvements – improved stability and speed on the Xbox One controller.

Game hubs – Making it easy to find content, tips and tricks relating to your favourite titles.

Party chat updates – chat connection status, improved connectivity between multiple participants with Strict or Moderate NATs, game and party invitations, and a number of other performance improvements.

Custom backgrounds and tile transparency – Tile transparency, similar to Windows Phone, has been added to the Home tiles to make your background images more visible.

TV updates – A number of updates to the live TV experience are available today and new features have been added to additional countries.

It should be rolling out to all Xbox One Consoles and be available in Ireland, and other regions over the weekend.
