Expect new features arriving alongside improvements to navigation and accessibility.
As the build up to E3 continues drive plenty of anticipation for what Micosoft and Xbox will have in store, Microsoft continues to deliver regular (and monthly) updates to improve existing features while making navigation easy for console owners.
June will see a new batch of updates arriving to Xbox One consoles, which is currently been tested by select members of the Xbox Insiders Program. The update currently falling under version 1806, better known as “Xbox June Update”, will roll out on the next few weeks.
Here are some of the updates expected to arrive this June:
“My Games & Apps” will see a new sorting option which builds on the Pins system used to bookmark installed content. You can create multiple groups featuring content from the “My Games & Apps”, assign custom names, organise and order them. The groups can be accessed across the “My Games & Apps”, “Home” and “Guide” menus.

Now, you can house individual groups in a dedicated content block/s which can be pinned to your Home menu, making it easier to find important groups without having to go far into you menus for all your groups. Plus, groups can be transferred over the cloud system between multiple consoles so you won’t lose your created groups during the transfer.
An update to the systemwide search feature will see an overlay on the Home menu to make it easier to find content on the console. Source: Windows Central/online
With a new system-wide search tab that’s currently integrated into your console’s dashboard, now the search tab will overlay the Home menu by pressing the “Y” button which will bring in up Microsoft Store listings and localised content. This search page makes browsing much easier by offering filters to cut down results to specific categories or you can expand your search to display more options.
While a feature similar to it available on PCs, phones and other mobile devices, you can now save multiple Wi-Fi passwords on your Xbox One. Source: Windows Central/online
Also with the June update is for your console to save multiple Wi-Fi passwords so you won’t have get annoyed when having to re-enter passwords when switching networks.
Other features arriving as part of the June update will see more Xbox One Narrator support for Australian English, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish plus Family Settings will get a tweak or two to improve restrictions.
