[News Bot]

The Xbox app brings together your gaming world across Xbox One and Windows 10 devices; that includes your friends, your games, your achievements, your avatar, access the Xbox and Windows Stores, and more. You can easily stay connected to the Xbox Live community, view your Gamerscore leaderboard across devices, view your GameDVR clips, start Party chats, launch into cross-device multiplayer with games like “Forza Horizon 3” and “Killer Instinct,” and stream your favorite games from Xbox One to any Windows 10 PC in your home while using your Xbox Wireless controller and more.

 

With a Windows 10 PC, you can easily game on-the-go and stay up to date with the Xbox Live community, and always be just a click away from your gaming world.

 

Here are three tips on how to get started with on-the-go gaming with the Xbox app:

See what your friends are playing, share and watch game clips and access Game Hubs for your favorite titles. This all comes into play through the Activity Feed inside the Xbox app. Easily search for and add friends with the people search bar on the right side of the app. You can also link your Xbox Live account to your Facebook account to find Facebook friends who also game on Windows 10 or Xbox One.

Find top PC games on Xbox Live! After you’ve signed into the app with your Xbox Live account, or created a new, free Xbox Live account, it’s time to start personalizing and making it yours. On the left side, click Search, then type the name of your favorite game. From there, click into a game’s Game Hub to see the latest and also follow the game for updates added to your Activity Feed. You can also view GameDVR clips, and when you’re ready to publish your own epic moments, they’ll show up in your Activity Feed, too.

 

Find other Gamers Easily with Clubs
