14 DAY TRIAL // The Major League Gaming organization announces that it has managed to launch the Xbox 360 version of its specialized application, which will allow gamers to access live streams of the eSports competitions that it organizes, and that it is still working on the Xbox One version of the same concept.
The app itself is free for all those who are interested and it is offered in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia and requires gamers to pay for an Xbox Live Gold subscription in order to be used.
Major League Gaming has not said exactly why the Xbox One version of the official streaming app is being delayed.
Sundance DiGiovanni, the chief executive officer of the gaming organization and one of its co-founders, states, “The MLG app for Xbox 360 brings our content directly to gaming fans on Xbox Live.”
Full details about coming events can be obtained on the official website of the MLG.
The company says that users have managed to watch 54 million hours of video content in 2013 and the number is expected to rise significantly during this year in part due to the Xbox 360 dedicated app.
Yusuf Mehdi, a marketing executive focused on the development of the Xbox platform, adds, “We continue to deliver content on Xbox that we know our audience craves and MLG’s premium programming was something we saw a high demand for.”
One of the biggest coming Major League Gaming events is the Call of Duty Championship, which will take place at the end of the month and will involve the most capable teams from the entire world.
Matches will start on Friday and every match will be broadcast for fans on the Xbox 360, despite the fact that the actual game will be for the first time played only on the Xbox One.
Since before its next-gen console was launched, Microsoft has insisted on the fact that it will introduce a variety of dedicated applications for the device.
The initiative is designed to give customers access to a very wide range of content and the company has also promised that it will follow it up with its own programming, including a Halo-themed series.
Major League Gaming is one of the biggest eSports organizations in the world of gaming and aims to create complex competitions using the most popular titles of the moment, while offering simple and fast ways of watching them, either in person or online.
