The new Xbox One update extends party chat participants, while an added New Xbox One Experience feature goes lice today.
Recently, Xbox One users have been clamouring for an increase on Party Chat participants and in a recent post by director for programming Xbox Live Larry Hryb on its Major Nelson's blog, he announced that they've updated Part Chat from 8 to 12 participants.
"Garnering over 2200 votes on Xbox Feedback, we are expanding party chat to include 12 people. This feature is being enabled for all of our Xbox users- and the Xbox App on Windows 10 as well as those in the New Xbox One Experience Preview," Larry Hryb wrote.
He also noted, Xbox One users won't be notified on an update, instead it will be done through servers and the Xbox One will be automatically updated.
Major Nelson's blog continued with the New Xbox One Experience update for preview members and Beta Xbox App for Windows 10 which rolled on Tuesday which brings party text chat option, Attack of the Fanboyadded.
In addition, Game DVR snap app and Upload app have been combined into one app called Game DVR for viewing game clips and screenshot captures
Here are the other features of the New Xbox One Experience update:

The new avatars will be animated on your profile and will start showing up in other new places in the new experience. If you prefer a gamerpic, you can easily switch your image.
-Updated menu for quick access to common actions. The menu button on your controller lets you pin an app or game to Home, launch a recently played game, or quit an app or game with just the touch of a button.
-Access new settings in the Guide. Adding to settings already included in the guide, like adjusting the headset volume, you can now turn your console off or restart your console directly from the Guide.
