- Xbox is introducing dedicated party chat relay servers to help solve the issues around NAT traversal that have prevented some people from being able to use party chat.
- The party chat system will monitor the NAT types of users in the party. If conflicts arise due to Strict or Moderate NAT types, the system will automatically move the hosting services to the Xbox cloud in an attempt to resolve the NAT type conflicts. For information on NAT types, go to Network settings on Xbox One.
- The initial set-up experience on Xbox One worldwide has been updated to enable users to select their preferred power mode.
- Instant-On mode uses slightly more energy but has faster start-up, enables use of the “Xbox on” voice command and receives background system, games and app updates.
- Energy-saving mode uses less energy by shutting down the console completely, requiring you to press the Xbox button on your console to start up your Xbox One. This will create a slower start-up time, and your experience will be interrupted for system, games and app updates.
