“FYI: The February #XboxOne System Update will ship this week, but not today,” Hyrb, also known by his gamer tag Major Nelson announced via Twitter earlier.

Microsoft’s Director of Programming for Xbox Live added: “The team is working on finalising. More details when I get them.”

The first major Xbox One update to have been scheduled, today’s patch was supposed to introduce a new battery indicator, manual storage management and USB keyboard support.

Despite the small Xbox One update delay for the February patch, Microsoft has today confirmed that a second console update will be rolled out next month.
