The first half of March is a very important time for the Xbox One, not only is Titanfall launching and presumably helping to spur on a further boost in sales, but Respawn’s highly anticipated game launch on March 11th has turned into something of a deadline for Microsoft to right certain wrongs within the Xbox OS.
In particular, it’s friends and parties which are being improved, and Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb posted a video yesterday where he and Richard Irving from the XBO engineering team go through some of the changes that are being made in this area. There’s nothing new or surprising here, as the list of changes was already revealed, but it’s good to see it in action.
We also heard yesterday that Twitch broadcasting would be coming on March 11th with an updated Twitch app on the XBO, which another important step forward in functionality and also highlights just how big next month is going to be.

Looking forward to seeing the new features, especially the Twitch streaming integration.
I already find myself yearning for the new updates on both consoles to add features and bring their functionality more in line with each other!

Yep. There’s some touches in that video, like favourite friends and searching and a speedier friends list, that I’d like to see on PS4.
