Xbox One system update coming February 11th

Xbox's Marc Whitten has posted details for the upcoming Xbox One System Update, now officially set for February 11th.
The update will feature numerous improvements including back-end updates for developers, improvements to Kinect and other stability updates.

Reads the post:

The ability to see and manage your storage space. With this update, you will find it easy to find how much space your content takes up and better manage your content. You can also control your install lineup and more easily manage your download queue. We've separated My Games and My Apps into separate lists, so you can easily create separate queues for both. Now you can pick the order in which you want your content to load and we've added a boot progress indicator so you can better track updates while they load.

The battery power indicator is back! You can see it right on the home screen, so you can easily track how much battery life is left on your controller.



And, you will be able to use your USB keyboard with your Xbox One.

These are just a few of the many updates we will be shipping on February 11. We'll share more details on these and other upcoming features in the coming weeks. We have several surprises in store that we think you'll love.
