If streaming video updates weren’t enough, Microsoft has also updated the multitasking experience for those using NFL on Xbox One. It’s not required though, and users who don’t have a cable or satellite subscription will still see highlights and still be able to track their team. Having one, or NFL Sunday Ticket makes the app come alive. To be clear, users still need a cable subscription for the best experience. The NFL hasn’t disclosed how much unlimited access to archived footage will cost through NFL Now.

Unlike NFL Sunday Ticket, it’s free for users to watch video highlights. The NFL Now streaming service that the National Football League announced some time ago will also be supported. NFL on Xbox One will have what Polygon is characterizing as “full integration with NFL Sunday Ticket.” In short, presumably, users will be able to drop their NFL Sunday Ticket information into the app and watch games live, just like they would if the Xbox One had a standalone NFL Sunday Ticket app.

Around a month ago DirecTV announced that it’d be revamping its Sunday Ticket video service and introducing paid tiers separate from its satellite services. That’s where the second major feature addition coming to NFL on Xbox One comes into play. Tracking stats is great and all, but of course, nothing is going to be as good as streaming video. ESPN has separately confirmed that the NFL on Xbox One app will have integration with its fantasy football system this year. Microsoft says these new providers will be available in the NFL on Xbox One app before the football season officially starts. That’s great since the app’s fantasy league tracking functionality was something pretty unique to the Xbox One. Microsoft isn’t ready to talk about which sites it is adding yet for some reason, but it did confirm that there are plans to make the NFL on Xbox One app interact with more fantasy leagues than just the one powered by NFL.com. That’s getting significantly better with this updated NFL on Xbox One app. Last year’s NFL on Xbox One app allowed users to track their fantasy team’s stats by snapping the NFL on Xbox One app to the side of their screen. They’re called fantasy leagues, and before each season users flock to websites like ESPN and Yahoo to build their own custom teams to take them through the season. Millions of users love building a custom team of players through fantasy leagues and competing against their friends.

Microsoft discussed the landmark changes coming to the NFL on Xbox One app this past weekend with Polygon, and they’re huge for anyone looking to check on their favorite teams or play a video game while still keeping track of all the action that’s happening.
