Revealed at E3 earlier this month, SmartGlass allows customers to link their Xbox console to their smartphones and tablet devices for a number of different tasks.

 

EA showed a player devising NFL strategies in-game on a Windows tablet, before instantly playing out their chosen strategy in the game, while 343 Industries displayed an interactive library of information while Halo 4 was playing, as well as matchmaking and other multiplayer features being done on the small screen instead of on the telly.

 

Microsoft Game Studios has said it will support SmartGlass software with all of its future titles.
