Last week, we told you about some of the new features and changes Microsoft plans to implement on the Xbox One. Now, you can become a part of the process.

Microsoft’s Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb announced today that Microsoft is going to turn to the community for help ensuring the Xbox One experience is the best that it can be. Certain members will receive an invitation on Xbox Live with a code they can use to register for the ability to test out upcoming Xbox One features and provide Microsoft with feedback. In addition to accessing the new features and updates, participants will communicate with Microsoft on a private forum, to share their thoughts and ideas.

He didn’t give any details on how members will be chosen, so we assume it’s by chance. If you’re one of the lucky chosen users, and you change your mind after you try it, you can opt out.

This sounds like a great idea for Microsoft, sort of a beta test for the Xbox One. It’s always nice when fans can preview features before they are released to the public. Are you hoping to be chosen? Some players claim to have already received their invitations, so check Xbox Live and see if you have one!
