Some owners of the 2013 launch model of the Xbox One are reporting issues with the console's inability to download new firmware updates. Our sister site, Digital Foundry, pointed out today that several users on NeoGAF reported that their original Xbox One unit cannot install system software updates for the console, regardless of whether the system is brand-new or used. Digital Foundry reported that three of its Xbox One launch models are running dated dashboards — two have the "Fluent Design" introduced to the Xbox One dashboard in 2017, while the other is using a revision released in 2018. The outlet reports none of these consoles were able to update, despite attempts to update a new firmware via the internet or offline means using a USB device.
