Twitch streaming on Xbox One delayed

Microsoft has announced more details on Twitch app integration for Xbox One.

Microsoft is working to ensure the initial Twitch on Xbox One broadcasting experience meets the expectations of the Twitch community, so this feature won’t be available right away, and is scheduled to go live during the first part of 2014.

The Twitch app will enable Xbox Live Gold members to view the full content catalog from tens of thousands of PC & console broadcasters on the Twitch platform. Twitch will utilize features such as Snap mode and instant switching.

Xbox One instant switching lets you quickly jump from one activity into Twitch using your voice, simply by saying “Xbox, go to Twitch.” You can alternate between viewing Twitch broadcasts with any other gaming and entertainment content on Xbox One. By accessing the Twitch app channels in the Xbox OneGuide, you can see what’s new in the Twitch catalog and can personalize your viewing experience by bringing any Twitch app channel into your OneGuide Favorites.

The Xbox One launches on November 22, 2013.
