Welcome to our weekly Xbox news recap series, where we go over the top stories of the past week in the world of Xbox. Let’s get started.

Creators Update launched and ready to go

The Creators Update has launched on Xbox One, with all of the new features rolling out steadily throughout the week. The update is being called the March Update, and it includes a ton of new features to help empower Xbox One users to be a bit more creative. The highlight of the update is most certainly its support for Beam Streaming, which should give the streaming service a whole lot more activity.

We’ll be getting our first look at gameplay this May.

Years afterwards – where the Xbox One has recovered entirely from that reputation, and enjoys a loving fanbase – Microsoft’s Yusuf Mehdi – Corporate VP of Xbox – pushed a post out to LinkedIn about the experience.It’s an interesting read, and it highlights Xbox’s intention in the future to “Do right,” “Make exceptional products,” “Create connection,” and “Surprise and delight customers.”
