Ok you can update these games in the background, there is even a dinky window telling you

size of download done, percentage complete , total size and connection speed.

Colour me impressed

17 [censored] updates left

@Scottie I like all the stuff you mentioned and the Xbox iOS and I am assuming the Android one too now allow you to redeem voucher codes on the app.

One thing I would love is for MS to allow you to copy screens from Xbox to USB instead of having you upload to Onedrive and then downloading from that to your PC

Since the latest Xbox One update. My controllers won't sync at all. No matter what I do. It works via USB. But my controllers won't sync wireless anymore. Tried everything humanly possible. Every step microsoft said I must try. Other user advice etc. Tried a friend's controllers and they won't sync either. As I said my controllers work fine when I plug them in through USB on my Xbox One. But no controller will sync. This is happening after the latest update

I've had no issues at all

I noticed today there is another update though (423Mb).

Did you check if you controller has the latest firmware? Settings, Kinect & devices, Devices & accessories then assigned Xbox One Wireless Controller. There is no controller update in the last two patches though.

EDIT: There is an issue, which may have been fixed by above update, with the newer 3.5 mm audio jack Controllers.

Turing Test review

All BF4 DLC is free on Xbox this week

Games with Gold for next month will be
Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings (yeah me neither)
The Escapists (heard of it, but that's all)
MX vs ATV Reflex (backwards compatible and IIRC wasn't that great)
I Am Alive
A bit of a letdown after the last couple of months TBH

Also Forza Horizon comes to and end in October. Basically if you own it you can DL it and any DLC you won whenever you want, but they will be removing it from the store.

A new interview about Scorpio, not much new, but there you have it

New Xbox packaging for BC games

For those that haven't seen, The Last Odyssey is free at the moment and is X1 BC, downloaded it for a future play through as I have never played it. Might as well pick it up you don't need to be a Gold member either. Only free till the end of December.

Elite: Dangerous players have made contact with the Thargoids, supposedly. I've been holding out on this one for a while, but this video just pushed me over the edge! Probably wait for the PS4 release though. https://www.awx.co.za/nexus/elite-dangerous-players-have-made-contact.html

Here are some of the new features in the Xbox Creators Update.

I especially think that copilot feature looks interesting.

Interesting .
