New Xbox One build for Beta Insiders adds social features

There's a new Xbox One build rolling out to Beta ring Insiders tonight which adds new social features. While we don't know what the social features are at the moment, we do know they're coming. Xbox's Brad Rossetti shared this news on Twitter a few minutes ago. The social features will be from the list promised a few weeks ago.

The social features will probably include the ability to join tournaments or changes to clubs and Looking for Group (LFG). The abilities which may be added are as follows:

  • When you create an LFG post, as the owner you will be able to see new vetting cards that include hero stats from gamers interested in joining your party.
  • You will be able to search LFG posts from the Achievements tab, related to the Achievement you're trying to finish.
  • They're adding the number of open LFG posts to the Game Hub and Club Hub headers.
  • Have you made a successful LFG post that you want to create again? Now you can see previous LFG posts that you have created, participated or shown interest in, and can copy them to create new posts.
  • When creating an LFG post, see all the recent tags you've used and easily select them.
  • Club owners can upload custom images for their Club logo and Club background.
  • Club owners and admins will be identified and labeled in their text posts to better help them stand out and manage their community.
  • Club owners and admins can pin a post at the top of their Club feed.

Microsoft will share official patch notes soon so we should exactly what's included. Hopefully they'll add a detailed breakdown of the new features rather than a sentence that says "more social features were added" like in the past.
