Minor Halo 5: Guardians Software Update Released Today November 10, 2016

A very minor software update has been released for Halo 5: Guardians earlier today. The new update adds no new features, and was released to investigate and address multiplayer latency issues that have recently been reported on.

If you’ve previously installed the game’s most recent software update, the new update should only weigh in at around 250MB. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but that’s just going to be one more annoying download you’ll have to get on top of the major dashboard update that was also released today.

Halo 5: Guardians is out now exclusively on the Xbox One.

Xbox One Holiday Update Released November 10, 2016

You may need to wait a while before your next Halo 5 match if your Xbox One is not kept in standby mode. The new dashboard update could clock in as high as a 4GB download.
