“Simply plug in your 256 GB or larger USB 3.0 external hard drive and once formatted, copy and move games, apps and game add-ons to increase your storage capacity at home,” says Microsoft.

Moving your content to a friend’s house via an external hard drive is now possible as long as you sign into your live account. This will save the time of re-downloading games for Xbox One players who game on multiple Xbox Ones or want to bring their library to a friend’s or relative’s home. With an emphasis on digital downloads with this generation of game consoles, it also gives the ability to add storage to the Xbox One’s relatively limited 500 GB hard drive.

The real names feature allows players to see their friends’ real names instead of their Gamertag in their Friends List. Your real name will be displayed in games instead of your Gamertag. The update will also end the need for Xbox Live Gold to access streaming apps like Netflix, effectively removing the paywall that has plagued Microsoft’s Xbox Live service for years.

When the June update is released, users will be able to select what account automatically signs in when you turn the Xbox One on, a feature previously controlled solely by Kinect’s face recognition feature. Microsoft recently announced that starting June 9, 2014, a special Xbox One bundle will be sold without Kinect for $399.

It’s widely expected that the next update for the Xbox One’s operating system will make the console’s menu more controller friendly now that every user won’t have a Kinect, a device Microsoft once claimed was integral to its vision for the console.

According to a Microsoft representative all service providers will support OneGuide’s new features in Canada.

“The full OneGuide experience will work in June. It doesn’t matter who your provider is; by nature of the HDMI connection through the pass-thru, it will work. OneGuide is an experience that is available to everyone through apps and the full experience was what we did not have, but we are set to have in June.”
