Calling all Xbox gamers! Get ready to streamline your mobile experience. The official Xbox app is about to become your one-stop shop for everything Xbox Game Pass – except for Cloud Gaming that is.
Merging the Best: Xbox App Now Includes Game Pass Features
Starting this week (for Xbox beta members) and rolling out to everyone soon, the Xbox Game Pass app is officially merging with the main Xbox app. This means you won’t need separate apps anymore! Most of the features you love from Game Pass will be conveniently located within the Xbox app.
Explore, Manage, and Conquer Your Game Pass Journey
Dive deep into the entire Game Pass library directly from your phone or tablet. Browse upcoming titles, discover hidden gems, and stay notified about exciting new additions to the service. For Game Pass Ultimate members, claiming exclusive Perks just got easier. View and snag those sweet bonuses right within the Xbox app, maximizing your subscription to the fullest.
Cloud Gaming on the Go (for Ultimate Members)
Game Pass Ultimate members can leverage the power of Xbox Cloud Gaming to stream select titles directly to their iOS or Android devices. Important note: While there was previously a dedicated app for cloud gaming, native support is being phased out. This means you’ll experience the best cloud gaming experience by firing up a supported browser and heading to xbox.com/play to experience the thrill of console-quality gaming on the go. Presumably this is due in part to the fact that you still can’t stream games from the Xbox app on iOS, and it is one less thing to keep updated.
The Xbox App: Your All-Access Mobile Hub
The Xbox app goes beyond just Game Pass. Here’s what you can still enjoy:
- Stay Connected: Chat with your friends using voice or video calls for epic gaming sessions, social catch-ups, or just plain fun.
- Share Your Victories: Immortalize your gaming triumphs by sharing screenshots and clips of your most legendary moments on social media.
- Track Your Progress: See how you’re stacking up! View your achievements and game stats, and compare them with your friends to ignite some friendly competition.
- Remote Management: Install games remotely on your console so they’re ready to play the moment you get home.
Keep It Updated, Keep It Epic
For the smoothest mobile gaming experience, make sure to keep your Xbox app updated. With all the goodness of Game Pass integrated within, you’re ready to conquer any gaming challenge – except cloud gaming – you’ll need to go to the dedicated web app for that.
