Microsoft hat jetzt damit begonnen, erste Einladungen für das "New Xbox One Experience" Update zu verschicken. Das große Update liefert zahlreiche Neuerungen und Verbesserungen und soll unter anderem Windows 10 auf die Konsole bringen, die Abwärtskompatibilität und zudem wird ein neues User Interface eingeführt.
Gleichzeitig warnt Microsoft auch vor zahlreichen Problemen, die bei der Beta auftauchen können. Schon zuvor gab Microsoft bekannt, das Update zunächst nur an eine kleine Zahl an Preview-Mitglieder zu verschicken, um Feedback einzuholen und das Update weiter zu verbessern. Erst dann werden nach und nach mehr Mitglieder eingeladen, bis der Launch wie geplant im November erfolgen kann.
Unter anderem kann es vorkommen, dass Destiny: König der Besessenen nicht startet und Forza Motorsport 6 kann von grafischen Problemen heimgesucht werden. Auch Apps könnten nicht starten und sonstige Probleme verursachen. Bestehende Tester können auch wieder auf die alte Firmware zurückgreifen. Dabei wird die Konsole aber komplett zurückgesetzt. Spielstände und ähnliches werden dann ebenfalls verloren gehen.
Die folgende Liste zeigt die möglicherweise auftretenden Fehler:

Press and hold the power button on the front of the Xbox One to perform a hard reboot of the console.

- The “Xbox Snap TV” voice command does not work. You can snap TV via voice command by saying “Xbox Snap OneGuide” or choosing OneGuide from the Snap Center.

Xbox App/Smartglass
SmartGlass and Xbox App Live TV/OneGuide: You may experience issues connecting to Live TV or OneGuide when connecting to the console with SmartGlass.
Workaround: Set your SmartGlass connection to auto connect, quit the app, and restart. If the issue persists, hard reset the console.
Basic SmartGlass functionality is now available including gamepad navigation, touch navigation, remote text entry, media playback control, and companions for apps and games. Other features such as two-finger touch panning, media companions, and power on/off will not function in this build.
Accessories:
- Xbox One Media Remote: When resuming from connected standby the Xbox One media remote may fail to send commands; a hard reset resolves this. The buttons for media playback will not work (rewind, play, pause, fast forward, skip back, stop, skip forward). The directional and center “select” button will function as normal.
- USB TV Tuner: If you have a USB TV Tuner plugged into your Threshold Xbox One console, Windows and Windows Phone SmartGlass devices will crash when attempting to connect to the console. To avoid this, you can switch to the Xbox App on Windows 10 or reset your TV settings and avoid setting up the USB TV Tuner.
- Third Party Steering Wheels: Using a third party steering wheel will work in games, however, it may cause instability to the console after attempting to use the Xbox button to return to the dashboard. Workaround: Hard reset the console.
