Twitter will be directly integrated into Xbox One’s TV experience in the U.S.
'Twitter will be optimized for the biggest screen in your house in a smart, contextual way – offering the ability to see Tweets related to the cable or satellite TV shows you’re watching as they’re happening,' the firm said.
The TV listings section of OneGuide, Microsoft's programme guide, will also reveal shows that people are tweeting about in real-time.

These shows will also be highlighted in a new 'trending' section within OneGuide so you know what’s popular right then and there.
'A commercial break turns into a quick and easy opportunity to see what other viewers are tweeting about without pulling out your phone, swiping at a tablet, or taking your attention away from your TV,' the firm said.
The firm has worked closely with Twitter to develop the system.
