Xbox head Phil Spencer has taken to Twitter to say that background music won’t be a feature implemented on the Xbox One any time soon.

While the console usually gets a monthly update, Spencer confirmed it’ll be a while before background music makes the cut.

@TheEjderha83 Won't be before summer sorry to say.

Don’t forget, Spencer is our friend from the northern hemisphere, so that translates to winter here in Australia.

Is there anything you’d like to see implemented on the Xbox One?
