Twitch, the popular live-streaming platform, will start broadcasting on the Xbox One on March 11th. The launch date will coincide with the release of the highly-anticipated Titanfall which has been heralded as the best first-person shooter game of all time.
Broadcasting gameplay is not the only thing Twitch has in store for Xbox One fans. Users can expect an enhanced viewing experience, chat capabilities, and an all new notification system.
Twitch currently has limited console support and is only available on the Xbox 360, Ouya, and Playstation 4. However, CEO Emmett Shear has expressed his desire to expand to a variety of platforms and has stated:
“Every platform where people watch video, we want to be there.”
