Xbox Live Party Chat met twaalf personen

Verzamel al je vrienden.

De gamers die gebruik maken van de Xbox Party Chat of de Xbox App op Windows 10 kunnen vanaf nu praten met elf andere gamers. Je hoeft dus niet langer te improviseren om al je vrienden tegelijk te spreken (tenzij je er meer dan elf hebt natuurlijk).

Via het systeem genaamd Xbox Feedback hebben ruim 2200 gamers hun stem uitgebracht op het uitbreiden van de Party Chat. Microsoft heeft hier gehoor aan gegeven.

Voor de gelukkigen onder ons die de New Xbox One Experience preview mogen gebruiken staat er een update klaar:

• Party text chat adds more communication options. In the New Xbox One Experience, text chat joins voice chat as a way to communicate with your friends. At the bottom of the ‘Your Party’ page, you will see a button to ‘Show text chat.’ This will let you participate in the conversation. Party text chat will also come to the Beta Xbox App for Windows 10.

• A streamlined Game DVR experience. We have combined the functionality of the Game DVR snap app and the former Upload app into one easy-to-use app called Game DVR. In full screen mode, you can use this app to view your game clips and screenshot captures. When snapped, you can use Game DVR to start or stop recordings.

• New animated avatars. They are back and better than ever. You showed us that you are passionate about Avatars with many requests on Xbox Feedback. The new avatars will be animated on your profile and will start showing up in other new places in the new experience. If you prefer a gamerpic, you can easily switch your image.

• Updated menu for quick access to common actions. The menu button on your controller lets you pin an app or game to Home, launch a recently played game, or quit an app or game with just the touch of a button.

• Access new settings in the Guide. Adding to settings already included in the guide, like adjusting the headset volume, you can now turn your console off or restart your console directly from the Guide.
