Ring 4 Xbox Insiders have waited and waited for an update and today is their lucky day. Microsoft just announced that Xbox One owners in the Ring 4 group will be graced with the latest build. While the company didn’t provide patch notes, Ring 4 members should expect performance optimizations, additional features, new menu layouts and much more in tonight’s update.

The fact that Ring 4 members are getting the Creators Update means that development is going at a significant pace. Hopefully the update will be available to regular Xbox One consumers soon. Microsoft hasn’t implemented any new features or speed improvements to the console in months and this is making a lot of gamers anxious. As it stands, the Xbox One dashboard is a slow experience. Microsoft needs to fix this fast.

Update: Microsoft provided the changelog for the update. The update is similar to one Beta and Ring 3 Insiders received a few days ago.

DETAILS OS version released: rs2_release_xbox_1703.170323-1228 Available: 2:00PM PDT 3/28 (9:00PM GMT 28/3)
