Twitch coming to Xbox One in March

Microsoft has confirmed that the new Twitch app will launch on Xbox One on March 11.

Only with Twitch on Xbox One can you broadcast and watch your favorite games live by simply saying “Xbox, Broadcast.” Once you’re done broadcasting, you can use Twitch to watch the games you love, chat with the players you follow, or even join a broadcaster’s game.

Kinect also allows users to include a picture-in-picture video feed and audio commentary along with the game broadcast. Players can also view the gamer card of anyone streaming from Xbox One and begin following them.

Xbox One is the only next-gen console offering a complete Twitch chat experience, offering 10 lines in the chat stream and allowing viewers to choose their name color and post emoticons. As an added bonus, broadcasters can invite friends into a private party from the chat stream, allowing them to voice chat outside of the broadcast.

Unlike the PS4 Twitch version, Xbox One users can also broadcast a full-screen view of the game or use an on-screen viewer indicator to keep an eye on how popular the live broadcast is. You can earn Media Achievements just by spectating.
