Windows 10: the best platform for 4K gaming and in-game broadcasting
Gaming has exploded in popularity as both spectator entertainment and as a sport. The Windows 10 Creators Update will make it easy for every gamer to create and enjoy live game streams and customized eSports tournaments on the fastest, most reliable multiplayer network, Xbox Live.5
The Creators Update will include Beam system integration on Xbox One and Windows 10 for interactive broadcasting and viewing of gameplay on Xbox Live, with even more features yet to be announced. And with interactive broadcasting, you don't just watch your favorite streamer play, you interact in real time right along with them.
The Creators Update will also bring the power of user-generated tournaments via Arena on Xbox Live, where anyone can define the rules of competition, invite friends and track tournament progress seamlessly across devices, whether it's on Windows 10 or Xbox One.
Plus, with a Windows 10 gaming PC, you're able to play games like "Forza Horizon 3," "Gears of War 4" and more in 4K,6 the highest possible visual fidelity that this holiday's biggest blockbusters can deliver.
