Xbox Series X And S Entertainment Apps Confirmed

Microsoft has confirmed the Xbox Series X and S entertainment apps available at launch.

Apps already available on Xbox One will be available on Xbox Series X and S, Microsoft said. These include the likes of Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Spotify, Sky Go, Now TV and Amazon Prime Video.

But also out on 10th November is the Apple TV app. That’s for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.

Here’s the US-focused list Microsoft provided in its announcement today (there will be more apps than on this list at launch, Microsoft stressed):

Netflix
Disney+
HBO Max
Spotify
YouTube
YouTube TV
Amazon Prime Video
Hulu
NBC Peacock
Vudu
FandangoNow
Twitch
Sky Go

Sky Ticket

Meanwhile, Microsoft confirmed the Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos tech is supported on Netflix, Disney+, and Vudu.

The Microsoft Store is twice as fast as before, Microsoft said in a blog post. The launch time of the Microsoft Store app is now about two seconds. You access apps in the refreshed Xbox dashboard experience in My Games & Apps.

There’s a new Entertainment block for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, too, which showcases content across apps. For new Xbox owners, the Entertainment block is automatically pinned to Home. Existing gamers can scroll down to Add more > See all suggestions, select Entertainment, and add it to Home.
