Xbox One users now can remotely buy a game and have it automatically downloaded to their console, courtesy of the latest update.

With a rollout that started Sunday, the Xbox One August update offers 'one of the most requested features' based on Xbox feedback, according to Xbox Live chief Larry Hryb, aka Major Nelson.

Prime Video members will be able to enjoy streaming of leading TV shows and movies on Microsoft’s Xbox One family of devices, including the Xbox One X, once it makes its global debut on November 7. Online shopping for Video Games from a great selection of Accessories, Interactive Gaming Figures, Games, Digital Games & DLC, Computer And Console Video Game Products & more at everyday low prices.

Specifically, gamers will be able to use the Xbox SmartGlass app or access the Xbox.com website to remotely buy games and add on content. Assuming your Xbox One is set up to automatically accept updates, that means your console will start downloading the game or other content right after you purchase it.

To keep current Xbox One owners happy and potentially draw in more buyers, Microsoft updates the console each month with new features and enhancements. Those updates are based on feedback from current users. The next major update for September has already started rolling out to members of the Xbox Live preview program, and promises a slew of new features, including a revamped Party App, a new Friends section, a boot-to-TV option, and updates to SmartGlass.

Also packaged into the August update is a change to your activity feed, specifically in the way you interact with your friends. Tweaked with a new one-column layout, the activity feed will let you post text to your feed and like or comment on other items in the feed. In turn, you'll be notified if someone likes, comments on, or shares the items that you post. You can share game clips and other items with your friends either publicly or privately, according to Hryb.

What else does the August update carry?

Your friends list now shows you how long a specific friend has been online. The Blu-ray player app supports 3D Blu-ray. A notification pops up when your controller's battery gets low. And finally, you can turn off notifications while watching videos.

'Today (Sunday), we will begin rolling out the next Xbox One system update to fans around the world, which will include improved social features to make sharing your gaming experiences with friends better and easier,' Hryb said in his blog post. 'These new features are a result of your invaluable feedback, including some of the most requested features seen on Xbox Feedback.'

The update is scheduled to reach all Xbox One users over the next few days.

In the past year, Twitch Prime Membership, included with an Amazon Prime subscription, has given users free games such as The Banner Saga, but the offerings have been sporadic — until now. Twitch has announced Free Games with Prime, a program in the vein of PlayStation Plus and Xbox Games with Gold that will give users a collection of free PC titles each month.

The program will replace the originally planned Twitch Prime Indie Amplifier promotion which would have allowed users to cast votes to determine which game would be given out for free.

The first batch of free games will be available starting March 15, headlined by the innovative puzzle shooter Superhot and supernatural adventure Oxenfree.

Along with those two critically acclaimed indies, Prime subscribers can also nab Shadow Tactics, Mr. Shifty, and Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation. Shadow Tactics, a stealthy real-time strategy game, actually won the Indie Amplifier Vote before Twitch decided to give them all away instead. Mr. Shifty is zany a 2.5D beat ’em up, and Tales from Candlekeep is a turn-based dungeon crawler set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons.

All five games will be available for free until the end of March. It’s unclear exactly when April’s collection will be up for grabs, but we already know the games. Leading the way is the excellent 2017 platformer SteamWorld Dig 2 and Telltale’s heralded episodic series Tales from the Borderlands. Kingsway, Tokyo 42, and Dubwars round out April’s list.

Considering the collections pulled from the Indie Amplifier initiative, expect to see Tumblestone, Treadnauts, High Hell, and I, Hope, on the docket in the coming months.

Unlike other subscription programs, you will still be able to play the free games even if your Amazon Prime membership lapses. As with other games given away via Twitch Prime, you probably need to download the Twitch desktop app to secure each month’s collection.

If you want to see any of these titles in action, Twitch streamers seriouslyclara and ElegyofGames will stream each month’s offerings every week through July. ElegyofGames will play each Sunday at 6 p.m. PT starting March 25, while seriouslyclara will play each Monday starting March 26 at 8:30 p.m. PT.
