Xbox One: March 11 update includes Twitch broadcasting+

On March 11th (Yes, the same day Titanfall releases!) Microsoft is planning to release an update for the Xbox One allowing you to broadcast directly from your Xbox One to Twitch TV previously only available to those with a capture card. Just like Twitch on the PC you will have Chat, Emotes and, well adds unless you have a Twitch Turbo subscription. For broadcasters it will automatically notify your friends, allow use of Kinect for a Webcam and, use the voice features of the Kinect like “Start Broadcast”.

A full list of Twitch changes will be below if you want the full scoop on what you can do on either side but one thing is for sure, come March 11th expect a LOT of Titanfall streams!

    Question is, will the quality be better or worse then that of the PS4’s? After seeing a few streamers streaming off the PS4, not gonna lie. I felt like I was watching video in 480p all over again.
