The NFL On Xbox One Adds Playoff Face Off Surveys And Super Bowl Ticket Prizes
The NFL on Xbox One app added a new feature yesterday that will allow users to predict performance in upcoming playoff games and even the Super Bowl.
If you launch the app, you should see a Playoff Face Off category on the bottom of the screen. All you do is answer questions about the outcomes and performance of players for upcoming games. Answers will be tallied and changed out every week, and accurate predictions will net achievements and chances to win prizes, like tickets to Super Bowl XLVIII and Super Bowl XLIX.

Our Take
I think it's this sort of crossover between television media and video games that will set the Xbox One apart from the PlayStation 4 and Wii U. The question remains, however, as to whether this will translate to wide popularity or sales for Microsoft.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
