The Xbox Holiday Update brings social connections all around, especially for you guys who use the Xbox Android app. Microsoft said in its post that it aims “to foster a welcoming experience on Xbox Live where everyone is included, respected, and supported.” In that sense, the features are understandably more for community building and groups within the app. See the video below for an overview of the new features.
The new Clubs feature are gamer-created and managed groups that help people meet and grow communities of gamers who love the same things you do.
