Xbox One to get Twitch streaming alongside Titanfall

4.5
The ability to stream your gameplay from a Xbox One console is dropping next month alongside Titanfall on March 11th.

The upcoming additional features for the Xbox One will allow users to archive games streams and initiate streaming broadcasts via voice commands.

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.Twitch CEO Emmett Shear


Below is what a senior Microsoft employee close to the issue had to say regarding to why the Xbox One was late to the game in terms of next gen console Twitch streaming.

That's a very certain type of experience. For us, we thought that was too limiting for what our fans would want. Our fans really want the full next-gen service, so that's why we decided to take our time, do it right and have it come out in this fashion.Xbox chief marketing and strategy officer Yusuf Medhi

personally this is both good and bad. Good for those that really want to get into streaming but cannot afford a capture card at this time. It's bad because people can abuse this or just if they start a new channel will
start complaining when they don't get the views they want

This will be cool, I never did streaming on the Xbox 360 so I'll try this out.

Same here, this is exciting news.

I think this will be good, but I am kind of wondering how much control you will be able to have over the stream.

This feature seems pretty crazy. It could sort of ruin itself if the broadcaster doesn't want stream joiners. I hope there will be an option to turn it on/off.
