Ein Update für die Xbox One und die Xbox-App für Windows 10 erlaubt es bald, eigene Profilbilder hochzuladen. Neben personalisierten Gamer-Pics wird es auch neue Filter-Funktionen für die Spiele-Bibliothek und Neuerungen in der Xbox Live Arena geben.
In der neuesten Preview-Version für Xbox Live gibt Microsoft einen Ausblick auf die kommenden Änderungen auf der Xbox One, der Xbox 360 und der Gaming-App auf Windows 10. Demnach wird es bald möglich sein, eigene Profil-Bilder auf den Account hochzuladen statt die bisherigen Gamerpics zu nutzen.
Eigene Profilbilder und mehr im kommenden Update
Microsoft möchte vor allem Verbesserungen in der Übersichtlichkeit und Personalisierung von Xbox auf der Konsole und dem PC durchführen. So wird es bald eine Filter-Funktion geben, die Spiele von der Xbox One und der Xbox 360 getrennt voneinander anzeigt, sofern sie auf einem Account gekauft wurden.
Außerdem werden kleine aber feine Updates in verschiedenen anderen Xbox-Bereichen durchgeführt. Zusammen mit der ESL und Wargaming wird die Xbox Live Arena aktualisiert und mit neuen eSports-Inhalten gefüllt. Der Aktivitäts-Feed wird übersichtlicher und erhält einen Livestream-Button. Auch hier kann bald nach Inhalten, Errungenschaften und mehr gefiltert werden.
Neue Inhalte in der Xbox Live Preview
Arena on Xbox Live
- World of Tanks fans will be able to participate in new tournaments on their Xbox One, created by ESL and powered by Arena on Xbox Live.
- Discover tournaments from your Xbox One or Xbox app on Windows 10, get notifications when your match is ready, jump directly into your match on the Xbox One, enjoy automatic results reporting, and show off the results on your activity feed.
Profile and Activity Feed
- Custom gamerpics are finally here! From your console, Windows 10 PC, or mobile phone, update your gamerpic with a custom image. We’re excited to bring this top fan-requested feature to Xbox Live and expect it to be in preview longer than other features to ensure it’s great for everyone when released.
- New ‘Join broadcast’ button in your profile, one of the many ways to access the game stream of someone broadcasting their gameplay.
- Your profile will display your Arena tournament history and upcoming tournaments.
- In your Activity Feed, we’re adding the ability to hide individual posts, pin posts to the top of your feed, and filter posts by friends, games or Clubs.
Clubs and Looking for Group (LFG)
- When you create an LFG post, as the owner you will be able to see new vetting cards that include hero stats from gamers interested in joining your party. Hero stats are contextual to the game you’re playing, showing you relevant stats like kill/death ratio, rank, or score.
- Achievement hunters, this one is for you! You will be able to search LFG posts from the Achievements tab, related to the Achievement you’re trying to finish.
- We’re adding the number of open LFG posts to the Game Hub and Club Hub headers.
- Have you made a successful LFG post that you want to create again? Now you can see previous LFG posts that you have created, participated or shown interest in, and can copy them to create new posts.
- When creating an LFG post, see all the recent tags you’ve used and easily select them.
- Club owners can upload custom images for their Club logo and Club background. Just like custom gamerpics, we expect this to be in preview longer than other features to ensure it’s great for everyone when released.
- Club owners and admins will be identified and labeled in their text posts to better help them stand out and manage their community.
- Club owners and admins can pin a post at the top of their Club feed.
My Games and Apps, and Settings
- In ‘My Games and Apps,’ we’re adding the ability to filter your game library by platform – Xbox One and Xbox 360.
- Captive Portal support for wireless internet is coming to Xbox One, which allows for Wi-Fi authentication through a browser. Great for colleges, hotels, or public Wi-Fi locations.
- In the Settings, we’re adding the ability to select Kinect auto-zoom for Beam and Twitch broadcasts, as well as for the Skype app.
- On the Xbox app for Windows 10, we’re adding the option to select the audio input and output sources for Party chat.
