Xbox One July update rolling out in coming days

As was foretold by Microsoft’s Major Nelson, the Xbox One July update is nearly upon us.

Previewed last month, the July update’s centerpiece is a revamped system for sorting and tracking your Achievements. Soon you will be able to snap a list of Achievements to the side of your screen while you play. They’re sorted by how close you are to completing them, with your favorites pinned to the top. The update also brings a variety of smaller tweaks, such as more voice command options, better options for publishers looking to bundle games together, and improvements to SmartGlass.

Expect the your console to automatically update itself at some point in the next few days, provided you’ve got it set to Instant-On (meaning you can turn it on using voice commands). If it’s set to power-saving, you’ll need to boot it up and download/install the update manually.

Indiana jones buried in the sand.

Xbox has had a rough year. From the divisive reactions to its multiplatform plans to layoffs and the shuttering of lauded studios like Tango Gameworks, there hasn't been much of a reason to be excited for Xbox recently. Microsoft is hoping to change that on Sunday as it will hold its annual Xbox Games Showcase to give us a glimpse at titles coming from its first-party studios and third-party partners over the course of the next year or two.

It's even holding a Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct right after. If you're an Xbox fan, this is obviously an event that you need to tune into. To help with that, we've rounded up everything you need to know about where and when to watch 2024's Xbox Games Showcase and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct, as well as what your expectations for the presentation should be.
When is the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct
The 2024 Xbox Games Showcase will begin at 10 a.m. PT on Sunday, June 9. The Black Ops 6 Direct will begin immediately after that multigame showcase concludes.
