Full Twitch Comes to Xbox One
Update to bring game capture via third-party to Xbox One and Kinnect
Twitch.tv's game capture, broadcast and spectate system is coming to Xbox One in a big way via an update to the console due in March.
It's not going to be a patchy service either, "It's complete integration. It's exciting because we've never had the ability to broadcast from a console like this with such a deep level of integration. The concept of being able to join a broadcasters' party is really cool, and it's another step in the direction of interacting more closely with broadcasters," so says Emmett Shear, co-founder and CEO of Twitch.
AP reports that, "An update next month will add the ability to live stream video games, join in on games with broadcasters, initiate game broadcasts with voice commands, archive game clips and watch Twitch streams broadcast from any device, including the PS4".
"The updated Twitch app will also include Twitch's chat features and the ability for users to broadcast from their living rooms with Xbox One's camera-based Kinect system. It's scheduled to launch alongside the March 11 debut of "Titanfall," the much-anticipated man-versus-machine shooter being released exclusively for Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC," says the report.
