Nieuwe features op komst voor Windows 10 en Xbox One Preview

Op geregelde tijdstippen probeert Microsoft de ervaring voor diens gebruikers nog wat te verbeteren. Zo heeft het elke maand wel zaken die het toevoegt aan de Xbox One, maar ook voor de Windows 10 en Xbox One Preview-gebruikers heeft men nu een aantal nieuwigheden in petto. Dat is niet zo verwonderlijk vermits men de band tussen beide platformen steeds nauwer wil maken. Als je Build 10158 van Windows 10 hebt staan, zal de Xbox app automatisch vernieuwd worden met onderstaande extra's:

• My Games – As you install games from the Windows Store, they will appear in your My Games list. Additionally, you can manually add games to your collection by selecting My games > Add a game from your PC. Also, there is now a Featured games section on the home screen, below your Recently played list.
• Game hubs – You can now launch a local PC game from its game hub, view details about the game in the Windows Store, and find and follow People to Watch for a given game. Additionally, for Xbox One games, you can now choose Play from console to initiate a game streaming session from a game hub page.
• Share with your friends – You can share your achievements to your Activity feed and Showcase just like you do on Xbox One. You can also share your Xbox One Game clips or Screenshots listed under Game DVR > Shared to your Activity Feed and Showcase.
• Xbox avatars – We renamed the Avatars app on Windows 10 to Xbox Avatars and the layout and iconography have been updated to final designs. In this month’s preview, there is a “Take a photo” feature so you can pose your avatar and snap a photo.
• Xbox account – In preview, you can sign in to Xbox on Windows 10 with any account, and create a new Xbox account if you do not already have one.
