Along with the new ESPN experience comes a new NFL app, which will focus on all the news and video coming out of the football league. In addition to news from NFL.com, viewers will also be able to access NFL Network content, and tune in to NFL Red Zone, which on Sundays jumps from one game to the next depending on who’s scoring or in scoring position.
This year, it will also give fantasy football players on NFL.com to mess with update their lineups directly from within the app on the Xbox One. Of course, fantasy football season will be half over by the time the Xbox One is released, but it’s still a nice feature to have.
While the fantasy football experience is focused on NFL.com for now, Microsoft hopes to enable the same type of functionality for other fantasy football leagues — like those on Yahoo or ESPN — in the future.
