The June 2020 Xbox One update has officially arrived, and Microsoft has detailed some of its new features.
The main addition this month is "simplified digital library management," which adds overlays to Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Live Gold and EA Access game tiles, helping you to more easily identify which game/s belong to which services.
Furthermore, Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass members will now see special badges next to their Gamertags on Home and in the Guide, highlighting those memberships. The Xbox Game Pass content block will also be added to the top of the Xbox One dashboard for any new subscribers going forward.
And finally, Microsoft has begun utilising a verified system to help separate official Clubs from fan made ones. From now on, you'll see a Twitter style verification badge next to official Clubs.
That's pretty much it for this month, but be sure to check out the full roundup at Xbox Wire for more details and screenshots. Are you happy with the new features? Let us know in the comments.

Ah nice. Considering I’ve now gone all digital it will make it easier for me to see what games will be unplayable when my game pass runs out
@WesEds 🤣 (Keep a look out for offers on Gamepass) 🤔
@BANJO true, only just started using gamepass after picking up a One X to cure my boredom while I’m unable to work and I’ve found a few games I’m enjoying
@WesEds That's why I got a One X also, late Feb I could see things didn't look good.. As you say Lockdown looked likely then... I got a One X on offer from Game (Uk Retailer) then got some physical games cheap second hand, plus Doom Eternal later new just as Lockdown occured. I got a 5TB drive 2 days before lockdown from Argos and only have 1.2 TB left, been busy with Gamepass and in the sales you could say..
@BANJO Yeah I did check Game but they only had One S but I seen that Currys had the One X with Star Wars Bundle for £260 and seems to be sold out everywhere else. I’ve been debating on an external drive too but I think I’ll wait until I’m running low
@WesEds Last month I think, (obviously just online) as the shops were shut they were selling One X's for £269.99 with a free game at Game.. It's not on as you say currently and stock seems hard to get. I'm sure I read an article which said the One X is no longer in production. They still have stock in warehouses but they certainly could continue to be hard to find going forwards...
Lockdown increased hardware sales from roughly 40K per week to 60K, Microsoft would not have predicted that, which is why the stock has dried up...
As it gets nearer to Series X release they will likely have offers on the hardware to shift the remaining stock... Once Series X is out I expect new One X's will be hard to find, but by then would you even want a One X.....
