Here is a roundup of some of the other features that are available now on Xbox One and Windows 10 through the the update, as posted on Xbox Wire:

  • Looking For Group now has notifications, so you can find out right away when someone posts. Additionally, LFG posts can be shared on activity feeds and through messages.
