14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has confirmed that the Twitch live streaming mechanic will be added to the Xbox One in the first part of 2014, as apparently the company was unable to include the eagerly awaited feature in time for launch.
The Xbox One finally makes its debut in 13 countries around the world on November 22, and Microsoft has promised plenty of great features in the last few months.
Now, it has confirmed on the Xbox Wire that the Twitch gameplay broadcasting mechanic won't be among the services available at launch.
"We know the ability to instantly broadcast gameplay is something the gaming community is excited about, and we are too," it said. "We are working to ensure the initial Twitch on Xbox One broadcasting experience meets the expectations of the Twitch community, so while this feature won't be available right away, we'll let you know as soon as it is ready. Our goal is to deliver it during the first part of 2014."
As such, Xbox One owners will be able to share gameplay videos via the built-in DVR on Xbox Live, or upload them to SkyDrive, from where they can be transferred to other video services.
