The New Xbox One Experience has started to roll out slowly as it builds up towards its full launch. As part of this process there have been a few bumps in the road with bugs and a number of these have been addressed already. A new Community Calendar app has been set live to download as well. This app is expected to help re-add some missing features around the community side of things, as well as add new functionality to bring gamers closer together.

HOW TO GET IT

  • If your console is in Instant-On mode and you have been selected, it will download and install the update and reboot to standby.
  • NOTE: Once the update is available to your wave, you can manually begin the update by navigating to Settings > System and selecting System Update.
  • If your console hasn't downloaded and installed the update by 1:00AM PT 10/20/2015, you will be prompted to do so at that tim

NEW EXPERIENCES
