Nachdem Microsoft diverse Details rund um die Multitasking-Funktionalitäten offenbart hat (Wir berichteten), folgt nun eine weitere System-Funktion der Xbox One: Major Nelson hat nämlich im eigenen Blog ein Walkthrough-Video zur Freunde/Follower-App auf der Xbox One veröffentlicht. Darin wird auch der Unterschied zwischen der Freundes- und der Follower-Liste näher erläutert.

Your New Friends App on Xbox One
Designed around you and your friends, Xbox One will have plenty of room for all your favorite people in the brand new Friends system on Xbox One. Your Xbox 360 friends will automatically be added to your Friends list. With Xbox One you can have 1,000 friends, connect with people instantly by following them and have infinite followers yourself. You can also see all of your Xbox One and Xbox 360 friends and their activity in your Activity Feed.
Similar to the other social media networks, Xbox One allows you to share the latest in games and entertainment with fellow gamers, friends and family, or even celebrities and gaming personalities by following people. For example, on Xbox One you can search for me by my gamertag and follow me to see what I share publicly, such as my latest game scores and achievements.
On your Xbox One, there are now more ways to connect than simply sending a friend invite. For example, the one-way follow model of Xbox One allows Xbox Live members to connect with the people they care about in an easier way than ever before.
Friends and Followers
So what's the difference between a friend and a follower? They are all considered your friends on Xbox One, but the levels of privacy between the two are different. You can follow anyone you want and it’s completely up to them if they follow you back. You can also decide what information your followers can see about you.
When you and another gamer mutually follow each other, it creates a more interactive relationship that unlocks the ability for you both to see information like when each other are online, what achievements you earn in real time and what you’re up to on Xbox One.
The Friends app is also an awesome way to find out about new games and activities to take your Xbox One experience to a whole new level.
"A great driver in 'Forza Motorsport 5,' for example, could have a huge group of thousands or even millions of followers all tracking their performance in-game," Rob Lehew, Xbox Live Program Manager, said. "Those followers can have this driver on their personal leaderboard so that they can constantly keep track of how they stack-up, and they can potentially connect online with the driver to get into a race with him."
