Microsoft yesterday released a new Xbox One build to all users. This update includes optimizations to game and app downloads on Xbox One. If you have high-speed connections (greater than 100Mbps), you can experience up to 80% faster download speeds. Find the full change log below.

Release date: 12/14/2016
Download performance
We’ve made several optimizations to game and app downloads on Xbox One:
- Customers with high-speed connections (greater than 100Mbps) should experience up to 80% faster download speeds.
- Customers with connections less than 100Mbps should experience more consistent performance that is up to 40% faster than before.
- Additional optimizations have also made background downloads more resilient to intermittent connectivity issues.
Download speeds will be influenced by network contention within the home and at the ISP level. Download speeds will also be impacted when games are running on the console as system resources are prioritized for gameplay over background downloads.
