Microsoft Director of Programming for Xbox Live Larry Hyrb has announced that users can now enjoy the 12-person chat feature of Xbox One.
According to Major Nelson, the said feature garnered 2,200 votes on their Xbox Feedback. This will be available for all Xbox users, Xbox app on Windows 10, and the New Xbox One Experience Preview.
Users will not need any visible update on their console or app as the feature will be uploaded on the server side.
IGN reported that the party chat feature for Xbox One Experience users will involve party text chat and new animated avatars.
There have been tons of requests for avatars so Microsoft decided to throw that little bonus as well. If you simply want an image for your profile, you can always switch back to it.
They've also released a guide that includes all the quick access to common actions that Xbox gamers frequently use.
Not only that, Microsoft has included the functionality of the Upload app and Game DVR snap app in one easy to use app called Game DVR.
You can use this to view your own screenshot captures and game clips in full screen mode. You can enable the Game DVR to start and stop your game recordings.
Gamers are also having an early holiday treat from Microsoft with their announcement of Xbox One bundles. The Rise of the Tomb Raider bundle includes all the full-game download codes along with Xbox consoles and peripherals.
Meanwhile, the Xbox One 1TB Holiday bundle includes a powerful 1TB Xbox One console along with Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Rare Play, and a full-game download of Ori and the Blind Forest.
