Xbox One
Gamers using Xbox One consoles now have a new way to talk and play online - they can livestream their video game sessions with others via its own gaming broadcasting service.
The technology giant made the announcement on Wednesday (29.03.17) and the service is expected to rival Amazon's Twitch but according to developers, the service is "built right into your Xbox One" so users won't have to turn to apps like Twitch.
Microsoft bought the firm behind Beam in August last year for an undisclosed amount, at that time the service was still at the testing stage and hadn't yet made it to the general public but it is enable users to modify some video games like the popular 'Minecraft' title with the help of a software development kit.
Beam is available now for Xbox One owners, and Microsoft said that Beam would debut for PC users on April 11.
