New Xbox One update rolling out to public, adds Scheduled Themes, Do Not Disturb, and more

Earlier this year, Microsoft unveiled a range of new features on their way to Xbox One consoles for those in the Xbox Insider Program. Known under its "1802" version number, the update was set to deliver improvements to the console, building upon last year's "Xbox fall update." Now, after a month of testing, Microsoft has released these features to the public.

Xbox One 1802 update: The complete changelog

Among the highlights of the update is a new "Scheduled Themes" feature, which allows the console to automatically shift between "light" and "dark" themes at set times. The dark theme is generally easier on the eyes and the light theme offers improved visibility, meaning this secures the benefits of both themes around the day and night cycles.

A new "Do Not Disturb" feature has also been added to the console, blocking incoming notifications for social activities. When enabled, friends will also be notified on Xbox Live, helping cut out the clutter of social features.
