Twitch saw the Xb1 as the redheaded stepchild when compared to the PS4

Twitch tests a redesigned Xbox One app to match the PS4

It should be more stable, and lets you browse without leaving a stream entirely.

Last spring, Twitch launched a redesigned game streaming app for the PS4, and now it's testing a similarly upgraded front end for Xbox One. Currently to the Insiders test group, Microsoft said it's showing off three key adjustments:

• Live video previews – check out live streams while you browse
• Better support for past broadcasts – see chat on offline videos
• Improved stability – the Twitch app has been rebuilt from the ground up to improve your viewing experience

Functionally, it's nearly identical to the version currently running on PS4. I gave it a try tonight on my launch Xbox One console, and the app is running more smoothly than the old one did. With video previews pushed up in the UI and menus that pop smoothly into and out of place, it runs more like Microsoft's own Mixer app, while some users report it now supports low-latency streaming with a 1-3 second delay.

I tried some broadcasting as well and the only difference I noticed is that it supports a bitrate of up to 6,500kbps. It works smoothly enough that I'd expect to see a wide release sooner rather than later, but anyone in the Insider program can try it out now by opening the beta program's hub app and looking under Insider content.

It‘s sad that it took them this long (since last spring) to get it as equal as the PS4 ?

The mighty BoneX struggles with a video app.

lol

or maybe its the fact that mixer is a direct competitor of twitch.

critical thinking sucks.

MS falling back on Twitch again since no one uses Mixer. LOL!

Once again xbox one X is the best place to twitch ps4 exclusives.

Most users on Xbox One use Mixer because its so much better and easier to use.

A lot of people are starting to move over to Mixer because it is seen as better and more open.

Ironically, the same reason people hate Windows lol

ROFL now fanboys have to resort to bragging about getting an upgraded app faster. ROFLMAO! This is just sad!

LOL isn't just sad how the mighty XB1x couldn't handle a simple app?

I don't see what the big deal is? Twitch ran perfectly fine on the Xbox. Am I missing something? Lol.

Oh boy.

Well it's about time although I don't think mixer is perfect either.

It's more stable of the two, formally.

???

@daredevils2k: plex on ps4 pro doesn't even have 4k or hdr sooooooo.

I don't know what twitch is.

I read those links but didn't see anything regarding the number of users on Mixer as opposed to other streaming platorms. Do you have a source? I'm curious.

@daredevils2k: Its funnier how the mighty PS4 still won't allow you to change usernames.

I guess you're stuck with XnumbXnutsX from here out :(

Better than xxxkiller360xxx.

@Ant_17: You'd rather numbnuts, says a lot about you numbnuts_17 lol.

All I see is that you are good at creating false narratives just like the rest of your fanboy brethren.

@i_p_daily: Yeah, all those Xs are stupid.

Anything with an X is trash.

@i_p_daily oh you didn't know, my user name is actually XthesenumbnutsrestedonI_P_DailyfaceX.

The article is saying that. Lems always shooting mesengers.

@daredevils2k: In your case its more like stupidnumbnuts.

@Ant_17: Sure numbnuts_17

XXthesestupidnumbnutsrestonI_P_daily'sfaceXX

Damn you must be super old to have your balls hang low enough to do that.

? Owned.

@dxmcat: I wouldn't call this a direct competitor. Twitch has nothing to worry about as far as that goes.

Have you seen the viewer numbers for Mixer? They're horrible. Lol

There's like a total of 6000 people watching Mixer, compared to 400,000 or more on Twitch.

lol, did you just call yourself short?
