Xbox One系統軟體有時也被稱作是Xbox OS是搭載於Xbox One的作業系統[6]。使用者可以通過Xbox Live服務直接將更新下載至Xbox One之後再安裝。或者通過PC下載離線恢復用的映像檔案[5]。
該系統軟體套件括三個作業系統[1]，內建硬碟提供日常的使用容量， located on the internal HDD for day-to-day usage, while also being duplicated on the internal NAND storage of the console for recovery purposes and factory reset functionality.
Xbox One遊戲系統允許使用者下載應用程式並添加到Dashboard。大多數的應用要求使用者簽訂為有效的Xbox Live金帳戶才能使用給定應用程式的功能。[7]
Since launch, Microsoft has been updating the OS monthly, with updates downloaded from the Xbox Live service directly to the Xbox One and subsequently installed, or by using offline recovery images downloaded via a PC.[5] In November 2015, a major system update known as the New Xbox One Experience was released, which brought very significant changes to the design and functionality of the system.[8] Notably, the Windows 10-based Core had replaced the Windows 8-based one in this update, and the new system is sometimes referred to as "Windows 10 on Xbox One" or "OneCore".[9][10]
Aside from introducing improvements and fixes for native console apps and software, the monthly updates introduces major features that are voted on or requested by the community. [11] Before a update is released to the public, beta releases are tested for about 3 weeks before going live to check for unwanted bugs and stability. [12] Sometimes, it is possible that owners can have more than one update in a month.
In the first couple of months after the launch in 2013, two updates were released to stabilise the system, and to correct the policies announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2013. After a wave of backlash from gamers and press alike, Microsoft were forced to reverse its policies regarding the always online DRM. This was known as the day one patch and meant that users had to go online at least once to receive this patch. [13][14]
One of the few notable features that was introduced in the early set of the 2014 updates was the support for USB keyboards. This meant that users could plug in a keyboard into their console, thus eliminating the use of the cumbersome on-screen keyboard. [15] Over a year later, in July 2015, Phil Spencer head of the Xbox team vowed that mouse support would be added sometime in the future as part of cross platform game play between the Windows 10 operating system and the Xbox One console. [16]
More importantly a issue had arisen in the United Kingdom whereby users could nod properly use their consoles, as juddering occurred. This is because in the United States, refresh rates on screens are higher (60Hz) than in Europe. This issue was fixed in the March 2014 Update. [17]
In the June 2014 update, external hard drive support was added along with the ability for users to share their real name, and a new feature for Xbox Live Gold members to retrieve free games, a feature introduced with the Xbox 360. External hard drive support was highly requested since day one, as the 500GB internal hard drive was not enough to store more than 10 games. This was a result of games being 50-60 GB in file size. The restrictions are that the external hard drive must have a minimum of 256 GB of memory, and must be USB 3.0 compatible. A total of three external hard drives can only be connected to the console at one time. [18]
As part of the aim to get consoles into new and existing markets, as part of the July 2014 update consoles could now better understand different accents and dialects. It meant that users in supported territories could now operate their console using voice with less mistakes being made. [19] A month later, purchases from the xbox.com website and the SmartGlass app was enabled, allowing for easier content purchasing. The August 2014 update also included a battery indicator on the dashboard to let users know the charge state of their battery. These changes were a result of high feedback. [20]
In the October 2014 update, MKV and DLNA support were added, as users wanted to connect their media servers to the console for streaming films and music. Again this was a popular feedback feature on the dedicated website. [21] In the November 2014 update, customisable backgrounds and tile colours were added to enable greater customisation of the consoles. This would later be extended to the Xbox app in Windows 10 to allow a user to customise their console on the move. [22][23]
In 2013 Microsoft pledged to add monthly updates to their new console.

In this update, various improvements were made over the last update in April 2015. New voice messaging options were added, meaning that voice messages can be recorded while the Messages app is snapped and voice messages can be exchanged/heard on both the Xbox One and the Xbox 360. Certain SmartGlass improvements were made, meaning that owners now have the ability to power on or off their console from SmartGlass when a SmartGlass-equipped device and console are on same network. The Party app was also improved in this update, with the launch of dedicated servers for party chat functions to allow users with varying NAT settings to use service. A new power setting was added during initial set-up, allowing users to choose between "instant-on" and "power-saving" modes. [26]
