Xbox One gets Game Hub, Transparent Tiles and Live Streaming on Windows Phone
If you are running Xbox One Preview Program, time to check for a new update which brings in features which was recommended by gamers like you. In its first update, which is of 245 MB, there are three new features being rolled out–Game Hub, Transparent Tiles and Live Streaming to Windows Phone.
Game hubs : Just like the Windows Phone Game Hubs, Xbox One has a game hub now which is a central place for you to check out for all the games you had played. You can see which games your friends are playing and then lets you compete with your friends and join them right away. You can also watch game clips and broadcasts right there.
I really liked the option of Play and Broadcast. This makes sure I am not forgetting or starting it when I am already playing the game. To access Game Hub you can go to My games and apps, then press the menu button and select View game hub.
Tiles are now Transparent: In the last update when the background image was introduced, the tiles did not get transparency. This means part of the image was getting blocked. This is fixed in this update allowing you to have transparent tiles so the images can be seen.
