Sony Mobile has begun rolling out the Android 8.0 Oreo firmware update for the Xperia X and Xperia X Compact. The new update will move you from build number 34.3.A.0.252 to version 34.4.A.0.364.
Sony is updating their Xperia X and Xperia X Compact today, with the only change being the inclusion of October's security patches. That brings the devices up to version 34.3.A.0.238.
Android 8.0 Oreo will soon roll out to a bunch of Sony Xperia devices, including the X, X Performance, X Compact, XZ, XA1 and XA1 Ultra. Sadly enough, the Xperia Z5 family is not on this list.
If you own the Xperia XZ, X Performance, X or X Compact, then you can look forward to a new OTA update hitting your device soon. This update doesn't contain any new features, but it does include February's Android security patches.
