Xbox beta app for Windows 10 gets social

Microsoft released the latest update for its Xbox beta app on Windows 10. Now it comes with better social sharing tools including a new Facebook friend finder. This feature looks through your Facebook friends list to identify if anyone has Xbox Live accounts that you can add. You just need to link your Facebook account with your Xbox Live account. The game DVR feature gets a boost as well as it now allows you to record yourself narrating as you play, instead of having to do that in a video editing app.

The Xbox store also gets overhauled. It has improved search functionality and code redemption, among its new features.
