    Default New Xbox Features in Preview on Windows 10 and Xbox One

    With the release of Windows 10 a month away now, the Windows 10 XBox app is getting some attention:

    Xbox on Windows 10

    New features for the Xbox on Windows 10 app:

    • My Games – As you install games from the Windows Store, they will appear in your My Games list. Additionally, you can manually add games to your collection by selecting My games > Add a game from your PC. Also, there is now a Featured games section on the home screen, below your Recently played list.
    • Game hubs – You can now launch a local PC game from its game hub, view details about the game in the Windows Store, and find and follow People to Watch for a given game. Additionally, for Xbox One games, you can now choose Play from console to initiate a game streaming session from a game hub page.
    • Share with your friends – You can share your achievements to your Activity feed and Showcase just like you do on Xbox One. You can also share your Xbox One Game clips or Screenshots listed under Game DVR > Shared to your Activity Feed and Showcase.
    • Xbox avatars – We renamed the Avatars app on Windows 10 to Xbox Avatars and the layout and iconography have been updated to final designs. In this month’s preview, there is a “Take a photo” feature so you can pose your avatar and snap a photo.
    • Xbox account – In preview, you can sign in to Xbox on Windows 10 with any account, and create a new Xbox account if you do not already have one.

    Still no streaming, so i'm not getting excited. I thought the Preview version of Win 10 already did all that? The best i could do so far was controlling my xbox from my PC (with a virtual controller) , similar to Xbox Smartglass on the mobile phone.
