During the Q&A session, McCoy confirmed a number of incoming improvements to the title, while mentioning that an official companion SmartGlass/iOS/Android App is also currently in the works. Check out his tweets below:

As a quick reminder, McCoy explained that private matches are going to be implemented in an upcoming patch, as is a fix for the PC’s frame rate cap, which is currently locked at 60 FPS.
@Demyze_Stoney Devs at the office working on it as we speak! — Drew McCoy (@DKo5) March 12, 2014
@LonoB We’ll see on lobby time. Framerate cap being worked on. — Drew McCoy (@DKo5) March 12, 2014
McCoy also talked about plans of increasing the Xbox One version’s resolution, saying that priority is given to performance.
@MrFeely13 @Respawn Maybe never. Working on improving performance alongside. We’ll see how it goes… — Drew McCoy (@DKo5) March 12, 2014
Lastly, McCoy reiterated that game modes with higher player counts would likely not be included in any future updates, though he didn’t give a downright “no”.
@MrClutch514 Any change, especially playercount, is a huge deal for a tightly designed game like this. More than you could imagine.
