• We’ve added support for “Community Content”.

  • This feature will allow games to upload content that YOU create, so we can feature it in DISCOVER.

  • BattleRoom and a DUCK GAME update are both coming soon – and will utilize this new feature.

  • Developers will get full details on how to integrate with Community Content in a Dev newsletter.

• The OUYA interface has undergone an under-the-hood revamp with some over-the-hood touches.

  • We’ve already got over a dozen videos to check out, with new ones added each week.

• Fixed an issue where exiting a game wasn’t returning to the set default launcher

• Limited the number of downloads in the queue to 10 – this fixes a few bugs that could occur with large numbers of queued downloads.
