More features have been added to the Xbox Beta App for Windows 10

4.7
More features are being added to the Xbox Beta App for Windows 10 this weekend, and there’s also news on when Cortana will be added.

Features being added to the program this weekend are:

Party text chat – Now available for Xbox Beta app members.

Read and reply to messages directly from notifications – Now able to quickly reply directly to the message inline.
Activity alert notifications – Real-time notifications when someone else in the Xbox Live community adds you as a friend or likes, shares, or comments on your content.

Activity feed sharing – In the top right corner of your activity feed, you’ll now see a “share” icon. Click on the icon select and display your recent shareable activity, such as achievements earned, game clips recorded and screenshots taken.

As far as the voice-controlled virtual assistant Cortana is concerned, it will be added to Xbox One preview later this year and released in 2016.

slapshot101 I'm wondering what all Cortana is going to be able to do on the Xbox, and if it will actually be useful and worth the time using or it will just end up being a feature nobody uses. I really hope it supports like voice to text for messages, it will make it a lot easier then to type it out.


That should be really easy to implement so i don't see why they wouldn't. Also Cortana on the
PC is really nice and since i also have a windows phone as of 8 days ago i can say that it is also fun to use on that aswell.


yeah I use Cortana on both my phone and computer she is amazing ;)
