Windows Phone 7 Xbox LIVE Integration

[Feb 15, 2010, 2:40 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Microsoft today unveiled Windows Phone 7 Series, a new mobile OS to be available by the end of this year. A feature of the new OS is integration with Xbox LIVE, something we saw hints of late last year. BusinessWeek has a write-up on the new OS, and Xbox LIVE's Major Nelson outlines the Xbox LIVE integration:

Specifically, the Windows Phone 7 Games hub will allow you to:

    • Collect Achievements and build your Gamerscore
    • View Xbox LIVE leaderboards
    • See your Xbox LIVE Avatar
    • Access Spotlight feeds, including the latest tips and tricks, game news, updates and more
    • Add Xbox LIVE friends to your friends list while out on the go
    • Turn-based (asynchronous) multiplayer gaming

Games can be fun on a phone if done right. Could be huge potential here.
