Microsoft has posted an update to the  Xbox beta app, which much like the Facebook beta app gives Microsoft a testbed for new features for the very important app.

The Xbox Beta app program gives fans an opportunity to provide early input on features and enhancements coming to the Xbox app on Windows 10 Mobile, helping Microsoft shape the product based on fan feedback.

The app features:

  • Stay connected to the Xbox Live community. View activity feeds, send messages, watch game clips, find new friends, and more across Windows 10 devices
  • Party chat with other gamers on Windows 10 PC and Xbox One, and join them in cross-device multiplayer with games like Fable Legends and Gigantic
  • Stream and play games from your Xbox One to any Windows 10 PC in your home
  • Celebrate your epic gaming accomplishments. Share game clips and view your achievements and Gamerscore across Xbox One and Windows 10 devices

The update to version 15.16.8006 and unfortunately comes without a new changelog, suggesting  it is only the usual bug fixes and performance improvements. Visually there does not appear to be any new features.

See screen shots of the app below.
