Details Revealed On Xbox One DVR Feature

At the conference, Microsoft gave details for the Xbox One DVR feature. Digital versions of your Xbox 360 titles will automatically begin showing up on Xbox One, he said. Microsoft announced that a Chatpad for the Xbox One.

Along with unveiling a slew of new titles exclusive to the Xbox One such as Halo 5, Guardians and Forza Motorsport 6, Microsoft also announced plans to release a few interesting pieces of hardware.

Officially licensed for the Xbox One, the headset features a custom dark chrome matte finish with metallic blue accents, with Halo-inspired graphics.

Its push comes as the video game industry grapples with a shift in how people play games – with many of them opting to forgo consoles altogether in favor of more casual smartphone games.

Another tool that users will need to purchase if they want to get the most out of their DVR will be a digital TV tuner.

And now, at Gamescom in Germany this morning, they’ve followed up with a firm release window: backwards compatibility will arrive for all Xbox One users in November. Xbox reports that once the over the air TV feature is set up it’s just a matter of connecting a USB hard drive to your console and recording, allowing you to finish up your game or do something else.

The new Activity Feed for Xbox 360 will enable Xbox 360 users to like, comment, and share what their friends are doing and playing. This feature was already available in Xbox One since February but we’re appreciating it that Microsoft still continues to update the Xbox 360 despite its constant struggles with the weak sales of Xbox One.

Those still mourning the loss of Windows Media Center in Windows 10 will be delighted with Microsoft’s announcement this week that Live TV recording is finally coming to Xbox One. Lastly, there is the Halo: The Fall of Reach animated series, team dossiers for Blue & Osiris, and Spartan Locke’s classified orders.
