With “Judges Week” for E3 going on leaks and rumors are beginning to spill! The following image has surfaced on social media which lists a Halo 5 tech demo and no mention of the repeatedly rumored Halo 2 Anniversary. Keep in mind this hasn’t been confirmed.
For those who don’t know what Judges week is it’s when a elite group of individuals get earlier access to interviews and demos hosted by game publishers at E3 weeks ahead of the conference.
Xbox One YouTube App now allows you to directly upload Xbox One gameplay videos to YouTube! And I show you how to do it (it’s REALLY easy)!
Starting April 8th Xbox will be rolling out the ability to upload Xbox One game clips recorded with the built in DVR to YouTube! Those “Xbox, Record That” moments will finally be able to share beyond Upload Studio and your friends/followers on Xbox One. It’s pretty safe to say that this feature will (probably) follow the maximum 5 minute video length that Upload Studio currently has in place for uploading to your OneDrive (or publishing to your clips on Xbox One)
Game DVR and Upload are among the most used apps on Xbox One. We know how important it is to be able to easily watch and share video clips, and starting tomorrow we’re rolling out an update to the YouTube app on Xbox One that integrates Game DVR and Upload with YouTube**, making it easier than ever to capture and share game clips with the world.
Now, use Game DVR to capture epic gaming moments, edit them in Upload Studio, and, with the simple click of a button inside the YouTube app (look for My Uploads**), share them instantly to your YouTube channel. The updated YouTube experience also allows you to watch YouTube videos in Snap Mode, earn Media Achievements, and adds YouTube channels to OneGuide for instant access to YouTube videos right next to your favorite TV listings or App Channels.

A recent tweet from Microsoft’s Phil Spencer has revealed that 343 will unveil Halo news at this years E3 and apparently not during Microsoft’s Spring showcase.
“Halo news will be coming at E3. 343i has a great plan in place, will be cool to share with everyone.”
Jessica Shea, Senior Community Manager for 343 industries replied to the twitter thread with “Good things are coming,… Oh yes, they’re coming… !!”
In 2012 we got some of our first looks of Halo 4 at the spring showcase prior to E3 2012 -and many people have expected the same events to occur for the upcoming Halo title for Xbox One but it appears this may not be the case.
Many people are speculating that we might see a Halo 2 Anniversary announcement at E3 since Halo 2 was released 10 years ago and 343/Microsoft personnel has seemingly been hinting at all things related to Halo 2. Others still think we’ll be getting an announcement for the continuation of Master Chief in Halo 5. Perhaps we’ll have both announcements, because in the end we don’t know what “Halo on Xbox One” really is.

Here we have a hands on look at the highly anticipated Xbox One March Update – set for the 11th. Why is this a big deal? Because it brings back many Party Chat and Friends System features from the Xbox 360 that were not present at launch for the Xbox One. I hope this trend continues bring back more Xbox 360 UI features, because it’s definitely true that “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone” – no matter how small the feature.
March 11th is going to be a big day for Xbox One as this update coincides with Titanfall’s release (they even featured the beta in this video) and the recent announcement that Twitch TV Broadcasting will be coming to Xbox One as well (story here).
“With a ton of great new multiplayer-focused features, the product update that’s coming to Xbox One in March will forever change the way you and your friends interact on Xbox Live. You’ll now be able to get into your friends list faster and customize the way you view it, allowing you to quickly get in and get gaming. Once you’re in a game, the revamped party system and “Recent Players” list will let you spend more time with your friends while also encouraging you to make new ones. In the video above, we take a closer look at what Xbox One fans can expect in March.”
