Some more big X1 changes coming in June...

- external storage support for USB 3 drives 256 GB or bigger. You can install your games to it, and then take your drive to a friends' place and play your games there.

- real names for your Friends list. Your real name can show to your friends. This will be configurable as a privacy item you can choose to allow or deny.

- TV/OneGuide expanding to more countries. The TV and OneGuide features will be available in Canada, UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy. This update brings OneGuide, Favorites and App channels to those who connect their TV to the Xbox One via the HDMI-in port

- Gold membership changes. As discussed in the other thread, Microsoft is dropping the Xbox Live Gold Membership for those who want to use apps like Netflix. They’re also adding a new hub for those with Gold who want to get the free games from the Games with Gold program.

- Automatic sign in. Xbox One will automatically sign in to a specified account rather than waiting to detect the user via Kinect, or accept the sign in voice command. Will be useful for those that buy a new X1 without a Kinect sensor.
