Xbox App on Windows 10 - March 2015 Feature Summary

RDJ134 12 maart 2015 om 01:19 uur

Microsoft is groots bezig om van Windows 10 een uber OS te maken waarbij de gamers centraal staan. Want hun Xbox App is niet zomaar om even wat dingen te bekijken, maar voegt zoveel meer waarde toe aan je game ervaring. Zo kan je screenshots en video's die je gemaakt hebt downloaden, profiel aanpassen en veel en veel meer. Aangezien Windows 10 nog niet uit is en nog in test fase zit, is het voor de avonturiers nu al mogelijk om alvast met deze app te stoeien. Maar goed, ram op play en aanschouw de toekomst van Xbox Live.


It was a busy week last week, with new tools releasing to Windows 10 developers at GDC to enable them to build great games for both Xbox and Windows. We're eager to share that more features are coming to the Xbox app on Windows 10 as part of our monthly effort to deliver new functionality to the Xbox app. Today, we are adding the following features:

More ways to connect with your friends.

Game Clips - View game clips created on Xbox One and watch popular game clips from the Xbox Community. Download game clips from Xbox Live directly to your PC.
Activity Feed - Like comments and delete your own activity feed posts.
User Profile - Profile headers will now be collapsed by default to show more profile information on the screen.
Friends Search - Use the search box at the top of the friends list to find an existing friend by gamertag or by real name if they are sharing it with you.

More control of your experience.

Improved Window Sizing - The Xbox app adapts to changing window sizing to more intelligently display different views dependent on the size of the application window.
Connect to your Xbox One - Remotely control your Xbox One from the Xbox app using a virtual game controller.
OneGuide and Universal Remote Control - Access OneGuide and the Universal Remote Control to change channels, manage volume or access the DVR on your set-top box connected to your Xbox One.
Games - See recently played Xbox Live games across devices - that includes Windows 10 devices, Windows Phone, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

The Xbox app will automatically update to the March version when it becomes available in the Windows Store. Once you receive the update, your version number should be 3.3.3019.0 or higher. You can verify the version number of the Xbox app under Settings. To read more about these features, check out the full story at Xbox Wire.

The Xbox Feedback site has a new Xbox on Windows 10 sub-forum so you can easily submit your ideas and vote up ideas for improvements you would like to see for the Xbox app on Windows 10. We value your feedback and would love to hear from you.
