The Microsoft Xbox One update released this week is said to bring features such as extended hard drive support, Twitter, HBO Go and other social media applications, along with other significant tweaks and updates. According to a tweet from Microsoft’s executive, Phil Spencer, the new Xbox One update surprisingly brings more GPU bandwidth to the Xbox One along with additional features aimed at developers as well.
The continuous dispute between PlayStation 4 and Xbox One performance since their launch last year has not affected Microsoft is any way, having the company telling developers to make the most of its performance. With this performance boost, which is about a 10% increase, Microsoft is apparently giving developers the ability to “choose how they want to utilize the extra GPU performance”.
A statement from a Microsoft representative however might shed some light on how the performance boost is achieved, reading that the update “will include new options for how developers can use the system reserve as well as more flexibility in our natural user interface reserve (voice and gesture).” This might point to the fact that developers should deliberately stop using Kinect and gesture technology in order to further boost game performance.
Whether the boost is achieved by slicing Kinect features or just by improving the drivers, Xbox One users will be happy either way with the performance boost.
