The Xbox team is looking at your feedback more than ever before through the new Xbox Feedback service, where users can offer their thoughts and suggestions. As for the coming update, Major Nelson outlined the additions headed to your Xbox One in a post on Xbox Wire--here are some of the key features:
"Snap Mode for Achievements. As we showed at our E3 Green Carpet event before the show, we're offering an easier way to track and view your achievements in the moment. With Achievement Snap, you can track your achievement progress in real time without ever leaving the game. You can also 'Get Help' on any Achievements you're struggling with. Xbox will scan the web for you and deliver relevant tips and strategy content right to your TV. You can view a video about this feature [below].

"Double-tap to Snap. Double-tap the button on you controller to bring up Snap Center, where you can launch Achievements or any other snap-able app, without leaving your game. Already have an app snapped? Double-tap quickly switches between your game and the snapped app.
"Choice of Spoken Language. Folks in New Zealand, Ireland and Austria can now enable voice control using the English or German voice models from other countries. And if you're an expat in an English-speaking country, you, too, can choose any of the other English language models that fit you.
"Future Digital Bundles and Compilation Discs. We're doing some work now so that publishers will have options for great digital bundle and disc compilation offerings in the future. As we test this feature, we'll be seeing more flexible combinations of game titles and game content.
"'Like' Game DVR clips. We're are adding the ability to 'Like' all your favorite Game DVR clips as well as activity feed items in SmartGlass."
