Xbox Live Adds Follow Function for Xbox One Gamers

Microsoft has improved the Xbox Live experience for the upcoming Xbox One console, enhancing the friends feature and adding a follow function for new ways to consume content on Xbox Live.

Unlike the static friends list from the Xbox 360 offering, the Xbox One's friends list updates in real time as your friends change games or add videos. The biggest new feature is that you can follow other players' activity streams without adding them as friends first — similar to following someone on Twitter, Xbox Live's Director of Programming Larry Hryb announced Monday in a video and blog post.
