SmartGlass debuting this week on Marketplace

The Xbox Live Dashboard update began its launch last week, as the update is being staggered region by region so that Xbox Live doesn't get stressed by heavy usage.

The only thing not included with the update is the touted Smartglass app.

That will change as the app will be released this week on Marketplace, PC and mobile devices like iOS, Android and Windows Phone on the 26th October, the same day as the release of Windows 8.

The games and apps that will initially support Smartglass include:

Games

* Ascend

* Dance Central 3

* Forza Horizon

* Halo Waypoint

* Home Run Stars

* Karaoke

* Kinect Sesame Street TV

* Prima Games

Sports

* ESPN
