Asterisk on Games and Apps

I am curious what the asterisk on the games and apps means. I though it might indicate that it has been updated, but I never leave my xbox on instant on so it shouldn't be able to.

Little icons

I been noticeing that there are these icons that appear, such as a controller, looks like a tv with 1 bar on it, a star, and a asterisk

what are these and what do they mean?

let me give an example

when I goto games and apps a few of them have it right now

diablo 3 top left corner there is a controller with a plus on it and top right corner there is a green asterisk in a white triangle

forza 5 just a controller with the plus

killer instinct controller and plus

pinball fx a controller as well

trials fusion a controller and a asterisk

my messages box has the tv with 1 bar on it

one of my friends has a green asterisk

Xbox Live Internet TV Channels!

That's the thing though, not one listing has a single asterisk against it, the only entries that are marked are done so with a double asterisk which means something else.

Hi,

I believe it indicates an update for an app/game that was recently installed.

@ killer how did you not get modded, and I did when I used four asterisk's? all I said was bag of "Insert 4 asterisk's ".

Does MS consider asterisk to be the most profane word on these forums?

In his shared list of games you see an asterisk on the game, and mentions that the game might not be available in all regions
