Many Xbox One users were disappointed to hear that Twitch integration in Xbox One was excluded from the launch time frame. But it is coming early next month, just in time for Titanfall launch. This integration will enable users to share gameplay via Twitch.tv from Xbox One.
“It’s complete integration,” said Emmett Shear, co-founder and CEO of Twitch. “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.”
The upcoming Twitch.tv integration is not just the same in Sony’s PS4. It includes lots of other innovative features such as the ability to join in on games with broadcasters, initiate game broadcasts with voice commands, archive game clips and watch Twitch streams broadcast from any device, including the PS4.
Microsoft commented the below on why Twitch integration took so long,
“That’s a very certain type of experience,” said Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft’s vice president of marketing and strategy for Xbox. “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.”
