Xbox One day one patch download to take 15-20 minutes

Microsoft’s Xbox One will require a launch-day patch, and the download should take about 15-20 minutes to complete, corporate vice president Marc Whitten told IGN.

Microsoft revealed the required system update earlier this year, saying it would be “required for the system to function both online and offline.” Whitten said yesterday that Microsoft is trying to make the process quick.

“We are optimizing Xbox One so that the day one update is as fast as possible,” Whitten said. “While we’re still finalizing the details, we expect that the download will take between 15 and 20 minutes for most users.”
