"Microsoft has announced updates to Xbox Live at E3 2013. At the company&amp;#039;s conference, it was announced that the Microsoft Points system will be abandoned.  It will instead switch to real local currencies for all players. Xbox Live will no longer feature a limit of 100 friends, while Gold memberships will be transferred over to Xbox One from 360. Beginning with Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed 2 and Halo 3, Gold members will also benefit from free games every month. Xbox One will also feature a built-in TwitchTV function which will allow players to livestream their gameplay.  The announcements were made during Microsoft&amp;#039;s E3 press conference, alongside Xbox One pricing and release information. A new Halo title was also unveiled, as well as Dead Rising 3, Ryse, Titanfall and Project Spark. The company also unveiled a brand new slimmer, quieter Xbox 360 and revealed plans to ditch Microsoft Points. Gallery - Xbox One confirmed games:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
