Ever since the latest Xbox One update released at the beginning of the month, some of the choices Microsoft has made regarding the console haven’t really gone over well with gamers. For example, I find the startup chime to be quite annoying and ridiculous. I want to hit my head with a hammer every time I hear it when I turn on my console. Thankfully, a new update it rolling out to everyone which addresses these concerns.
Apart from that, the console has been feeling sluggish. According to the patch notes the game also fixes performance and adds general improvements. I’m not sure if it’ll make a substantial difference but I’m hoping it will. Either ways, it’s always good when we get an update. You can read the entire patch notes provided by Microsoft below.
