Today the Xbox 360 received a Major League Gaming app intending to bring live-streamed content directly to the console. The application is only usable by Xbox Live Gold subscribers as usual and should allow access to coverage of MLG tournaments, their weekly eSports report, and live coverage of this month's Call of Duty Championship. There has been no news of a MLG application for the Xbox One or any other platform yet, stay tuned.

We continue to deliver content on Xbox that we know our audience craves and MLG's premium programming was something we saw a high demand for.

We are excited to bring the best in competitive gaming directly to our community with the addition of the MLG app on Xbox 360.Xbox VP of marketing Yusuf Mehdi
