Suppose the new live streaming feature is easier to use than twitch and easier to get to on the xbox. Could give twitch a little run for its money..

Cool to see this streaming service even though I never use anything like this.

Never ever going to compete with Twitch.

Don't see this new live streaming feature doing well competing against Twitch.

Ilcamorrista So now we have another streaming service available for Xbox, where's the VR MICROSOFT?!


One scorpio should have VR capabilities. I don't see why they introduced beam tbf it is a waste IMO.


They most likely wont go down that route at the moment as VR isn't doing well.

This looks really good, it's also good to see they're still actively looking for ways to improve xb1.
