The update introduces a number of new features like the "my games & apps" redesigned, a new look for the store and finally the music in the background. The announced support of Cortana is not reached: despite being activated for everyone during the program Preview, Microsoft decided to release it at the moment only for USA and UK, while working to perfect it in other countries.
Here is the list of all the news, followed by the movie that we see at work.
Music in the background
- Music apps will now be able to continue to play music even when switching to other applications or games, without that they remain side by side. Every app should implement support for this feature, and one of the first will be the Groove Music app that also allows us to upload our MP3 on Skydrive to listen to them in the console.
- Once you start a song in any application that supports background play, after switching to other apps or games to control playback just open the guides with double-Xbox controller button and select Multitasking : from here you can pause, change song and adjust the volume.
My games & apps
