Microsoft to launch DVR for Xbox One users in the UK, US and Canada in 2016

Technology giant Microsoft has reportedly confirmed that the Xbox One's DVR feature would initially be launched only in the UK, US and Canada.

According to VG247, the DVR feature will be launched for Xbox One users in the three countries in 2016. The Xbox One DVR feature, which will be provided for free, will allow users to record over-the-air TV.

Moreover, users will be able to live stream events on multiple connected devices, such as Windows 10 PCs and tablets using the built-in Xbox application.

However, the Xbox One's DVR feature would require an external hard disk drive to function.

Presently, Microsoft is working on rolling out Windows 10 for Xbox One consoles, which it hopes to complete in November 2015. The Redmond-based company also announced at Gamescom in Cologne last week, that Xbox One users can expect the following enhancements after the update:
