XBl multiplayer on Windows Phone spotted in E3 announcement trailer

Microsoft's E3 conference was held yesterday and they announced 8 new Xbox live games for Windows Phone. If you notice closely, like the guys at Windows Phone Daily did, stop at 0:42 of the trailer below and you'll notice a multiplayer tile possibly for XBL games.








Xbox or the Games Hub is missing a crucial feature i.e the ability to play multiplayer games. Imagine playing Hydro Thunder Go with your friends, how fun would that be? It will open new opportunities for developers to create killer and highly engaging multiplayer games. XBL titles are generally overpriced, a sad trend, but a multi player addition would make the price definitely worth it on most of the titles available - if possible, of course. Will this addition be included in Mango update or a hub update is coming out before the mango release?
