Now, gamers and enthusiasts can watch live broadcasts of gaming tournaments and professionally produced gaming content through a console app created for the big screen.

MLB.TV makes its way to Xbox One

Just in time for Opening Day, fans will be able to watch Major League Baseball games on Xbox One.  With an Xbox Live Gold subscription, MLB.TV Premium subscribers will enjoy live, HD-quality video of every out-of-market regular season game in 2014.
