Microsoft is on a roll when it comes to their Xbox community. Yesterday, an Xbox One Insider discoveredthe self-service refund, which is turning out to bequite a hit with gamers. Today, Major Nelson announced that an update will be rolling out for Xbox One. But this isn’t just any update, many of the additions arehighly fan-requested features.

The first in line are new features in the Profile and Activity Feed. Now users will be able to visit another person’s profile and select the “Join broadcast’ button to instantly jump into the stream. The Activity Feed is also seeing a bit of a rework, offering users the chance to hide individual posts or pin them at the top of the feed. Furthermore, posts are now able to be filtered according to game, Club, or friends making it easier to sift through the chaos.

It looks like Clubs and the LFG tools introduced last year are what really got the meat of the update though. Here is the list:

The update also rolls out with the long overdue Xbox One/Xbox 360 filter in My Games and Apps. Gone are the days when users had to scroll through lists of both generations of games, some of which including way too many titles in similarity.

It’s clear the Xbox team are striving to be the consumer-oriented model that drives gaming communities.No wonder Sony PS4 players are at an unrest. Maybe they could use aUserVoice forum?
