New Xbox One Update Coming "Soon"

Microsoft will release a new Xbox One update "soon," engineering lead Mike Ybarra said today on Twitter. Like previous updates, this one will be made available first to Preview Program members before being pushed out widely.
Unfortunately, all Ybarra did today was confirm the existence of the update; he did not share any specifics about what is changing or being added.
He did mention, however, that--as is the case with other updates--not all of the features will be included in the Preview version. Microsoft lets Preview members test upcoming updates in an effort to gather feedback before they are released widely.
It's unclear if this is the Xbox One Anniversary update (which is also coming to PC) or a different one. That update, which was announced at Microsoft's Build conference, was pegged to launch in early June for testers, so it sounds like it could be this one.
It will contain "key gaming features," Ybarra said in the past.
                  
A full list of features has not been announced. Expected ones include the ability for all Xbox Ones to act as development kits, as well as background music and support for the Siri-like Cortana digital assistant.
Speaking at Build, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said Microsoft will announce even more new Anniversary update features for Xbox One at E3 2016 this month.
