Phase one for Xbox One April system update now available for preview
The first April system update for Xbox One Preview program members is rolling out, with phase one landing overnight.
The first wave of content includes the following, per Major Nelson:
Party chat improvements – Party chat is being improved with troubleshooting guidance for Xbox One owners. The Party App will help you get your microphone enabled and show you when privacy settings or networking issues are blocking communication with particular party members.
Game hub links – Members can more easily discover game hub content from activity feed items. You’ll see activity feed items when any of your friends follow a game, and you’ll also be able to get back to a game’s hub from activity feed posts related to the game – including feed items about the game’s achievements, game clips and screenshots. Finally, we’ve added a link to game hubs from the game’s page in the achievements app.
Achievement notifications – With this preview release, you’ll also see the achievement’s description in the notification so you know what you did to earn this achievement without having to open the achievements app. If you do choose to open up the notification to see the achievement details, we’ve also made some performance improvements to make loading the achievements app from a notification faster.
The second content wave will arrive next week, and more information on what Xbox One Preview program members can expect will be announced closer to release.

Geekoholics LIVE: Dragon Age Inquisition
Come hang out while I play Dragon Age Inquisition PS4 LIVE on TWITCH. Watch the Stream here: Ricocast or watch the embedded link below.
Buy an Xbox One, Choose a Game for Free – Sept. 7 – 13
If you haven’t yet made the jump to the new generation of gaming, then head to your favorite retailer next week and pick up an Xbox One. For one week only – from September 7 through September 13 – when you buy an Xbox One from participating retailers in the U.S. and Canada, you’ll get a free Xbox One game of your choice. The offer is valid for any retail Xbox One game, and the offer is good for Xbox One system bundles, too – so if you want to pick up the Xbox One Madden NFL 15 Bundle or Forza Motorsport 5 Bundle, you’re getting another free game of your choice on top of it!
In Canada I found this promotion available at Future Shop, Best Buy and the Microsoft Store. Honestly though I’d rather get the special edition Destiny Bundle that includes a white PS4. However if you didn’t already have an Xbox one and were thinking of getting one, this week would probably be the right time to pick one up.
Twitch To Be Acquired By Amazon, Is Now Official
Twitch CEO, Emmett Shear has confirmed that Twitch will in fact be bought by Amazon. Rumors earlier this year had Google, or Youtube actually, buying the huge video-game streaming service. But today we have confirmation that Amazon will be purchasing them.
In a an open letter, the CEO states that Twitch will remain seperate, but that now with Amazon’s resources, they aim to give us a better Twitch experience. A Copy of the letter is below
Dear Twitch Community,
It’s almost unbelievable that slightly more than 3 years ago, Twitch didn’t exist. The moment we launched, we knew we had stumbled across something special. But what followed surprised us as much as anyone else, and the impact it’s had on both the community and us has been truly profound.
Your talent, your passion, your dedication to gaming, your memes, your brilliance – these have made Twitch what it is today. Every day, we strive to live up to the standard set by you, the community. We want to create the very best place to share your gaming and life online, and that mission continues to guide us.
Together with you, we’ve found new ways of connecting developers and publishers with their fans. We’ve created a whole new kind of career that lets people make a living sharing their love of games. We’ve brought billions of hours of entertainment, laughter, joy and the occasional ragequit. I think we can all call that a pretty good start.
Today, I’m pleased to announce we’ve been acquired by Amazon. We chose Amazon because they believe in our community, they share our values and long-term vision, and they want to help us get there faster. We’re keeping most everything the same: our office, our employees, our brand, and most importantly our independence. But with Amazon’s support we’ll have the resources to bring you an even better Twitch.
I personally want to thank you, each and every member of the Twitch community, for what you’ve created. Thank you for putting your faith in us. Thank you for sticking with us through growing pains and stumbles. Thank you for bringing your very best to us and sharing it with the world. Thank you, from a group of gamers who never dreamed they’d get to help shape the face of the industry that we love so much.
It’s dangerous to go alone. On behalf of myself and everyone else at Twitch, thank you for coming with us.
Emmett Shear, CEO
I haven’t really had a chance to process this newest development, but as of right now I suppose if they leave Twitch to be twitch still and only help the service become better, then that is a great thing. Of course whenever there is a deal like this, the concern is that they will in fact mess it all up. So here is hoping that in this case, things only get better.

Gearbox Has Revealed It’s Next Game, And It Is Not Borderlands!
Today we finally get to see what Gearbox has been working for on the Ps4, Xbox One, and PC, or what we are now starting to call “current gen” . Not Many details have been given in regards to Battleborn yet, aside from this very interesting looking trailer they have released below.
At E3 this year Gearbox released the next Borderlands for last generation systems (PS3, Xbox360) but had nothing to reveal for current gen. So now we have found out what they were working on. Gearbox is calling Battleborn “A next-gen hero-shooter”. We don’t really know what that means, but we will be keeping an eye on this title, as we have had an absolute blast with the previous Borderlands games, so a new IP from Gearbox gets us very excited!
Take a look at the reveal trailer below.
No release date has been given yet for Battleborn, but we know it will be coming to the PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Let us know in the comments below what you think of this new IP from Gearbox.
