Universal Windows programs are already available on many devices but have yet to come to Xbox One. They might show up soon but we already know of at least one application making its way to the console. Mike Ybarra recently said that he was testing Tweet It! for Windows 10 and it was universal. He also added #Xbox in his tweet signaling that it would be available on the console.
However, a fan questioned his tweet because it wasn’t available on the Xbox Store. Mike had to clarify that the ability to run Universal Windows programs on Xbox One was on its way. He didn’t give a timeline but just confirmed it was happening.

I’m glad a Twitter client is coming to Xbox One because we definitely need it. Hopefully there will be a third-party Facebook one too. What are you thoughts on this? Are you excited to use Twitter properly on your console in the coming months?
