Details released on upcoming Xbox One March update

 

The March update for the Microsoft Xbox One is expected to land soon. Ubergizmo reports that a beta tester of the new features talked about the new features Microsoft has included with the update. Some include the ability to disable Kinect hand gestures while watching videos, say a specific value by which to increase or decrease volume via voice command, and support optical audio.

The new update will also debut Twitch video game broadcasting app that will start streaming sessions with just the word “Xbox, Broadcast.” Party Chat will also be turned on by default. And a firmware patch is expected to allow the headset adapter to work well with the controller.
