Microsoft rolls out Windows 10 Xbox One app beta in waves

Windows is now distributing invitations to its Xbox One Experience: Preview Program. This is part of the company's efforts of finding bug issues for its Windows 10 Xbox One app beta.

Although it has already been confirmed that the rollout has begun, Microsoft is reportedly doing it in waves. This could only mean that the beta app will be released to a select few who are part of the said Preview Program.

Tech users might be excited to finally get their hands on the new user interface, but Tech Times reports that the said preview comes with multiple errors and glitches. Apparently, some of the games do not launch at all. There are some games that do launch but do not end up working properly, namely, "Destiny: The Taken King," "Skylanders," "Xbox Fitness" and "Elite: Dangerous."

Other complaints include DLC crashes, graphical glitches and online connectivity errors. The games that suffer from these issues are "Elder Scrolls," "Forza" and "Assassin's Creed Unity."

Apart from games, certain apps also reportedly do not work, such as SyFy, TED, SlingTV, Showtime, MLC, USA, WWE and VUDU. For these issues, either the videos do not play or the apps do not launch at all.

Forbes is convinced that Microsoft is only rolling out the preview to find more bugs. That way, the company can immediately come up with solutions and give its users an error-free user interface before the app is officially released this fall. This tactic reportedly suggests that Microsoft is becoming more strategic and smarter in their tech ventures.

"The guys at Xbox are smart for rolling this out slowly," an avid Xbox user told Engadget. "By being a slow roller, they are able to make sure all the issues are fixed right away, instead of being broken for everyone at one time!"
