Xbox evangelist Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb announced that more features are now available on the Xbox app on Windows 10 as part of a monthly effort to make Windows 10 as seamless at running game services as the Xbox Live service on Microsoft’s game consoles. It’s all part of a grand strategy to unite the gaming community across Windows, Xbox, and Microsoft mobile devices.
