Major League Gaming is releasing a new app on Xbox 360, bringing premium video content to Xbox Live Gold subscribers in the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Australia. The MLG app is also expected to bring its premium MLG.tv programming and tournament coverage to Xbox One later this year.

"At MLG, we are dedicated to delivering the best competitive gaming content to our fans around the globe via all of their touch points," said MLG co-founder and CEO Sundance DiGiovanni. "Our fans have been asking for an MLG experience for Xbox and we are excited to bring them the programming they want via Xbox Live."

MLG delivers coverage of various competitive multiplayer tournaments, including Starcraft 2, Hearthstone, and Dota 2. The Xbox 360 app will also broadcast this year's Call of Duty $1 Million Dollar Championship from March 28-30.

DiGiovanni also confirms that an MLG app for Xbox One is also in the pipeline. "We do plan to release an MLG app for Xbox One later this year," he added. "We have a lot of new programs, shows and competitions in the works and look forward to broadcasting them all through the app."

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
