Microsoft announced today that the release for all players of theOctober xbox update of Xbox Onehas been announced, which introduces a number of new features already tested by preview users in addition to some news so far unannounced. Here are the news you'll find in the update.

• Parental controls for individual games and apps - If you use Xbox One parental controls to limit the time your children spend in front of the screen, you can now have more control by setting limits for individual games and apps, setting for example, 1 hour per day maximum on Fortnite and 2 hours on Netflix. In addition, the limits you set for one child will be valid globally on both Xbox and PC, without distinction, and the time consumed on one device will also decrease the time available on the other.
