Last week we posted an announcement that PlayXBLA
was getting it’s own channel on Twitch TV! The first official day of broadcasting will begin on May 25th and will have daily streaming schedules from that point on! In addition to daily game streaming we will also feature special edition content during events like E3 and PAX! That’s not all! The daily streams will usually be hosted by me but look for additional slots being added for our Game with the Producer hour for a chance to ask the experts! The main goal of the our stream will be to feature what you, the community wants to see!!! The poll below will be used as a way to gauge exactly what that is!! This poll will remain on the front page until launch day and will allow for unlimited voting for the time being. The final schedule/consensus will be determined with this poll as a one of the factors, so don’t get upset if you feel someone is spamming the vote button or anything of that nature. Also, feel free to list any thoughts or suggestions in the comments section! Click Read More to take the poll and/or leave feedback in the comments!!
