Can I Download Xbox One System Updates On PC?

Old McGroin · Sep 30, 2015

Hi all,

Picking up and Xbox One (1TB Fifa 16 bundle) this weekend and was just wondering if it's possible to download any needed system updates on to my PC before then and then update the Xbox using a USB key? I ask because my broadband isn't the best (12mb download
+ 10GB daily download cap). Would like to be able to play at the weekend so having the updates ready before then would be great, can this be done and if so can someone post a link to where the updates can be found? Thanks!

:)

Is there a way to check detailed network statistics without having to do a system update?

If you have a Xbox One, you might try the Offline Update solution
on this page here. With that, you'll download the update to an USB drive on your PC, which is usually more reliable in downloading, and you might even try a download manager that can resume aborted downloads.

If you have a Xbox 360, you can
follow the instructions on this page to copy the update to an USB drive or burn it on an optical disc.

Xbox One system update download to PC.

Microsoft had online a guide to download a launch day system update for Xbox One to a PC USB flash-drive.

Which they took down. Stating that such downloads would be done through the support service.

I found no reference to system update downloads to Windows on Xbox live or through the support service.

Without the system update the Xbox One console cannot be used

Hi Old McGroin,

Unfortunately there is currently no way to update your console via USB. Just FYI though, the update is usually around the 250MB mark (though it could be as much as ~1GB, but certainly not more). The biggest problem you will face though is if the game is
a download code, you're looking at something like 40GB to download. (Even some day 1 patches run above 10GB)

Your best options would be to either find a friend with a higher/unlimited Broadband connection or call up your ISP and increase your package for a month. Most ISP's will let you upgrade your package with a 14 or 30 day cooling off, so you can return to
your original set-up easily after you've downloaded all your updates and whatnot.

Thanks SN1P3R, that doesn't sound too bad, thought the initial system update would be a lot bigger and won't be downloading full games anyway, cheers buddy!

[quote user="Kershonn"]I simply want to be able to download Xbox games on my PC while at work. At home I have satellite Internet which sux for speed. It takes days to d/l a 6 gig game file if it doesn't crap out all together.

So when at work is there anyway to d/l Xbox games to my PC and either burn them to DVD or movbe to a USB drive for transfer to my Xbox? For that matter what about system updates. With PS3 I can download updates from my PC to a USB drive and then copy and
install them to my PS3.[/quote]

Have you considered bringing your console to work? You'll have to download content on a console; it's the only way.

System updates can be downloaded elsewhere and applied to your console by USB flash drive or burned disc:

Hi,

At the current point in time you can only use a direct internet connection (Wired/WiFi) to download the Xbox One's Day One update. The EOU (Emergency Offline Update) page has been removed, and the links are not working.

If you're having trouble downloading your Day One update, please try to make sure that you are directly connected to your Cable/DSL modem and not behind a router and see if that helps at all.
