The second Xbox One May Preview Program update adds voice messaging to parties

Microsoft is in the process of releasing a second May Preview Program update on Xbox One.

Here are the new details of the update:

NEW EXPERIENCES

  • Voice Messages while in a Party. With this update, you can now leave voice messages while in a Party. Previously, you had to leave a Party to leave a voice message.

FIXES

  • US/CA USB TV Tuner Channel Scanning. We received reports that the US/CA Digital TV Tuner would not correctly scan for channels. This has been resolved in this update.

KNOWN ISSUES

  • Party app Voice Commands (initial screen only). When launching the Party app, voice commands will not function on  the Party app’s first menu screen (ie. saying “Xbox Select”, followed by “Start a party” or “Learn more”).

The update will be available for all users next month.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
