Microsoft's newest video game console, the Xbox One, will launch this Friday, Nov. 22, but one of its features will not be fully functional.

Microsoft has announced that live gameplay streaming via Twitch.tv will not be available until 2014.

"We know the ability to instantly broadcast gameplay is something the gaming community is excited about, and we are too," the company said via a blog post today. "We are working to ensure the initial Twitch on Xbox One broadcasting experience meets the expectations of the Twitch community, so while this feature won't be available right away, we'll let you know as soon as it is ready. Our goal is to deliver it during the first part of 2014."

The ability to stream live Xbox One gameplay was a popular new feature on the Xbox One. The feature was designed to allow gamers to stream basic broadcasts via Twitch.tv and Ustream.

PlayStation 4 gamers are already live broadcasting via Twitch, with hundreds of streams already on the site, Ars Technica reports.

"We're stoked at what we've accomplished so far, but we're not stopping here," Jared Rea, Twitch Community Manager, wrote in a blog post discussing PS4's Twitch integration. "We'll be working with Sony in the months and years to come to improve and enhance this feature to make it as great as possible."

Xbox One still has plenty of features to offer gamers, however.

"The graphics are better, but we tuned Xbox One for today's gaming, meaning certainly high-def, certainly better sound, but it's also the fact that you can instantly resume a game, just like you can on a mobile phone,"  Larry Hyrb, Microsoft Xbox Live programming chief, said. "The system turns on in 13 seconds, completely unheard of 10 years ago."

The Xbox One starts at $499.
