    One of the things that has been missing from the Xbox One is the amount of game demos available and that some ID@Xbox releases have been denied a larger spot on the Xbox One store, only visible at launch in the New Releases section on the right.

    The July update has some game trial functionality from the Xbox 360 in the form of being able to download an Xbox Live Arcade title as a free demo and then pay to unlock the full version without downloading the game again. Don't get to excited though as currently none of the games in the marketplace utilize this feature however future games certainly will.

    Chris Charla, the boss of ID@Xbox announced this feature recently during an Interview with Eurogamer and also said that they are looking into making ID@Xbox titles easier to find.
    We can expect some much needed changes to the way ID@Xbox works along with a lot more releases, as according to Charla "There are literally hundreds of ID@Xbox games in development right now."

    We will get this update later next week, let us know what you think of the changes below.
