New tools will also allow users to record and edit gameplay so clips can be easily uploaded to the web.ĮA Sports was first to announce new titles for the machine revealing Fifa 14, Madden NFL 25, NBA Live 14 and the fighting game UFC would all launch on the platform within the next 12 months using a new games engine called Ignite.

The US firm described the voice and gesture-controlled machine as an “all-in-one” system offering games, live TV, movies and music. The next-generation console was shown off alongside a new Kinect sensor and a redesigned gamepad. Microsoft has unveiled the Xbox One which will go on sale later this year.
