WatchESPN Launches Xbox Live Updates: More Content, Split Screens

  • WatchESPN is now available for Xbox Live Gold Members. Previously Xbox Live only offered ESPN3, but now users can watch ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN Goal Line, ESPN Buzzer Beater and ESPN3 live on their Xbox.
  • Users must have service from a cable provider that offers WatchESPN. If they do not, they can continue to watch ESPN3 as long as they have an Xbox Live Gold membership “and an Internet connection from an ‘affiliated provider,'” reports Engadget.
  • The Xbox Live app offers split screen viewing so users can watch multiple channels at once — and with Kinect, users can navigate the experience with gestures or voice control.
  • The app also features game reminders and allows for personalization through its “My Sports” feature. The Mini Guide “gives fans a preview and quick access to all live events and highlights right at the bottom of the screen,” according to the press release.
  • ESPN and Microsoft plan to release an XboxSmartGlass feature for ESPN, NBA, and SportsPicks by December, notes the post.
