Xbox One OneGuide now available for some UK gamers

MCV Staff 2nd April 2014 Business News

A number of Xbox One owners who have previously signed up to the console’s preview program in the UK now have access to OneGuide.

The feature allows owners to access a live TV guide directly through Xbox One – that played a big part in Microsoft’s pre-launch marketing for the machine. Included with the update is a SmartGlass universal remote control.

Specific DVR and cable/satellite compatibility has not yet been specified.

Other new features rolling out include the ability to rent a film and then watch it across a number of devices such as Xbox One, Xbox 360, Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and XboxVideo.com.

As well as the UK, OneGuide access is also being rolled out to users in Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Canada.
