Xbox One Streaming Delayed To 2014
Briefly: Twitch streaming is coming to the Xbox One, but Microsoft has just revealed that it won’t be ready for launch:
We know the ability to instantly broadcast gameplay is something the gaming community is excited about, and we are too. 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.
If it’s a better product because of the delay, is a few months of waiting such a big deal? You will be using the service for, like, eight years, after all.
Microsoft also revealed some cool achievements for the service. Here’s what you’ll need to do to unlock them:
-Watch one hour of live video on Twitch to become a Newcomer
-Watch 10 hours of live video on Twitch for Competitive
-Watch 100 hours of live video on Twitch for Best Viewer
-Watch one hour of live video on Twitch channels that have less than 10 viewers to be the Hipster
-Watch 10 hours of live video on Twitch channels that have less than 10 viewers and become the Talent Scout
–Max Bandwidth is received by watching a single channel on Twitch for more than eight hours consecutively
–Around The Clock is exactly that, just watch at least one minute of live video on Twitch in each hour of a full day
–Prime Time, simply: watch a total of 10 hours of live video on Twitch between peak viewing hours from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m., on a weekday
