You might notice some changes if you turn on your Xbox One today, as Microsoft is rolling out its November system update, the company has announced.

The November update adds the ability to create custom backgrounds, which Microsoft said was the "number one requested feature" from fans. This isn't quite the custom themes Xbox head Phil Spencer said he wanted to support on Xbox One eventually, and we won't see that functionality at least until next year. As Spencer explained, we might see smaller system updates next month, but Microsoft doesn't want to roll out big updates in December as many new consoles bought during the holiday season are coming online.

Other additions to the November update include the option to attach a up to six game clips or achievements that will be displayed in a carousel format. You can also share your favorite Xbox One game clips on Twitter, but not screenshots, another feature that the Xbox One won't get to until 2015.

A full breakdown of updates, written by Microsoft, is published below, while a video walkthrough is available in the video above.
