Xbox One Twitch app receives major update, adds new filtering options

The Twitch app on Xbox One has been updated with advanced broadcast filtering features.

The app uses Xbox Live’s new ability to associate real-time gameplay stats with broadcasts, enabling a “massive array of search options.”

"Depending on the game, the filters may include player stats, game modes, maps, player skill level, in-game activity, progress, and more," explained Xbox Live director of programming Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb.

"Want to search for the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare broadcaster with the highest kill/death ratio? How about instantly queuing up a Halo match from whoever has the highest rank in Slayer mode, or finding Forza Horizon 2 players who are driving a specific class of car? This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Twitch on Xbox One app's broad array of new search options," he added.

The latest Twitch app update also adds Videos on Demand, which allows users to view other people's archived videos even when the broadcaster isn't online.
