November 2, 2015

I really wish Microsoft called the upcoming Xbox update something better than “New Xbox One Experience,” because then I wouldn’t feel so silly writing about it. Still, the label certainly boils it down: on November 12, Xbox One owners will be able to update their consoles to have a new…
