Twitch gameplay streaming won’t be enabled for the Xbox One launch this Friday, and Twitch says it’s aiming to include the feature “during the first part of 2014.” It’s contrasts sharply the option against the launch-enabled streaming on the PlayStation 4 that was launched last week in North America.
“We know that the ability to broadcast your Xbox One gameplay direct to Twitch is something you’re all very excited about,” Twitch said on its blog. “So are we! Microsoft is working hard to ensure that the Twitch broadcasting experience meets all of your expectations, and we’re looking forward to sharing more details with you all in the future.”
The Twitch app itself will be available when the Xbox One launches across 13 markets on 22nd November, but this is only to Gold subscribers. At launch you can watch Twitch’s complete catalog, and use Snap to play games and view Twitch content at the same time.
