Microsoft’s next update will launch on March 11. That's the same day much-anticipated first-person shooter “Titanfall” will hit shelves. The update promises players it will repair the console’s friend and party system. This is the first major update since the system launched in November in 13 countries.

The following was posted Tuesday on the Xbox blog:

With a ton of great new multiplayer-focused features, the product update that’s coming to Xbox One in March will forever change the way you and your friends interact on Xbox Live. You’ll now be able to get into your friends list faster and customize the way you view it, allowing you to quickly get in and get gaming. Once you’re in a game, the revamped party system and “Recent Players” list will let you spend more time with your friends while also encouraging you to make new ones.
