In early August Microsoft announced its acquisition of Beam, a videogame livestreaming service that separates itself from the competition by using tech that allows for low latency and interactive features. Now, Beam has announced it will launch on Microsoft's gaming platforms (Windows 10 and Xbox One) this winter. That's not a very specific window, but it will be interesting to see what happens once the parts come together. Currently, Amazon-owned Twitch is the most popular livestreaming service, but Beam's hook is the ability for viewers to influence the streamer's gameplay and broadcast.
