Microsoft inviting select members to preview new update

Microsoft is sending out invites to "select Xbox Live members" for the opportunity to preview the upcoming March update for the Xbox One dashboard. Invites will also entitle users to preview future updates as they become available, with the proviso that feedback is provided ahead of the global implementation of the updates.

Selected participants will be sent an Xbox Live message with a token to register, with access to be granted as the system update begins rolling out next week to those picked to sample the new multiplayer and party features. You can then test out the new features on Xbox One, providing feedback in the forums, where you can also opt out of future waves if you want.


i just got my invite so fingers crossed some of you guys will also get it

They love you Mosher!!!   

Nothing here would be cool to be able to give some constructive feedback, as long as it at least gets taken on board

Nice to hear, you'll have to let us know if it really does fix all those niggling little issues or not!

Just this minute got the invite to join it. Taking an age to download mind!

Me too, just had a message through, will need to wait till Monday though when I am home from minkeys

Turns out I was sitting there waiting for nothing! The app you download is purely to register but mine was stuck loading. You simply open it to answer that yes you agree to the t's & c's then you get a message saying they will be in touch with further instructions in a day or two.
If its anything like past registrations its the next day, even when the 360 did it in its heydey it was the next day you got your beta update.

Has anyone got on this yet? I downloaded the registration app, registered & since then nothing. Normally a next day thing?

check the app on your xbox one and it should tell you if your application was successful or not.

mines now telling me that 'This Xbox is now registered to preview updates.

I downloaded this and also got stuck with a loading screen.

Not to fussed though, I just want everyone to get this update asap so we can get on with party chats.

Had my invite yesterday. All registered fine . Now wait and see game.

Same here, all ready to go now, just got to wait on Microsoft

I wonder if there is some form of criteria for selection

How will this work if the update is fixing party chat will it still work with people who don't have the update?

Its ok Everton i haven't had an invite either.

Everton !! what the hell did you do to M$ , they really don't like you.

According to the schpeel on the t's and c's I agreed to that will still be fine

This has just hit my bone while I was watching the footy. I just sawthe bone light up and start downloading at a great rate of knots. That's always on for you.   

That must have been a bit odd to see Still no update for me sadly

I did wonder what the hell was going on , because I had just turned it off not 5 mins before.

I had a quick look. The friends list is better. they have seperated the people that are connected. Had a look at the invite section by clicking on FBG and join session etc etc is there.
So far so good. Easy to look at , clean and tidy. Will give M$ my thumbs up on the private message board tonight.   

good to hear its looking better

I look forward to paying for another 11 years of live so I can one day join in

Sounds good to me, looking forward to getting a go

Edit :

Just got the update and I must say its definitely an improvement, loads easier to navigate the friends and compare games, find who is online, join them and message them, also the recent gamers is back in place for those of you that liked that feature.

Lighty, do you know where I can post feedback? Do you have a link at all?

Link above mate. Another update has just landed.
