Xbox One console owners are set to receive a patch for this month's system update which is focused on the New Xbox One Experience.

"There are no new user-facing features in this release as the team focuses on the New Xbox One Experience that will be available later this year."
The new update will not bring "user-facing feature", Major Nelson confirmed on this blog. Thus, prepares the Xbox One for the upcoming Windows 10 launch on July 29 that will bring game streaming to the console and will allow Xbox One games viewed on Windows 10 tablets or phones.
