March Xbox One system update patched for preview members; Details here

A new feature and a some tweaks!

Xbox One preview program members have been getting an eyeful of the upcoming system update for the Xbox One. The update will be bringing 16-person Party Chat, customizable game DVR recording length, and more to users in the coming future, but preview members have been able to test out a majority of new features since the beginning of the month.

Last week, a patch to the system update brought even more features like the ability to do a factory reset on your Xbox One and maintain all of your games, as well as the Achievement Snap App. The most recent update did not add too many new features, but it did bring a couple of fixes.

Check out the additions and tweaks below via preview forums (courtesy of DualShock):
