Twitch on Xbox One now shows hosted (and recent) game streams

Host Mode lets streamers toss you to another channel after they sign off.

Twitch's Xbox One app just became much more useful if you can't stop watching live streams. Thanks to an update, Amazon's game-focused video service offers the Host Mode viewing you've seen on the web -- if a streamer wants to showcase someone else's work on their channel, you'll see it on your TV. Also, there's a fresh Recent Activity hub that shows channels you've watched, channels you follow, and recommended on-demand clips. All told, you're much more likely to have something to watch... even when your favorite "let's play" host calls it quits for the night.
