The Xbox One's July system update--which, among other things, expands the console's Snap functionality--will roll out across the world "in the coming days." Microsoft's director of Xbox Live programming director, Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb, announced the news in a short post on the Xbox Wire.
As we reported last month, the Xbox One July system update's most notable new feature is what Microsoft calls "Achievement Snap," which will let you track your achievements "seamlessly" while you play. You'll be able to see the number of achievements you've unlocked in a particular game, as well as the progress you've made towards new achievements.
Another new feature for Xbox One coming through the July update is the "Snap Center," which lets you view a list of apps that can be snapped and then make a selection. Other new functionality includes the ability to "Like" recorded game clips, and expanded language control options for select markets.

On top of those new features, the Xbox One July system update also support for "future digital bundles and compilation discs." Regarding this new functionality, Microsoft said in June, "We're doing some work now so that publishers will have options for great digital bundle and disc compilation offerings in the future. As we test this feature, we'll be seeing more flexible combinations of game titles and game content."
