Today, just five days from the Xbox: Game On briefing at E3, we are excited to announce that more than 45 new entertainment app experiences are coming to Xbox One and Xbox 360 globally. Some of the most popular experiences such as an optimized-for-TV Twitter integration, Vine, HBO GO, ShowTime Anytime, Comedy Central, Major League Gaming (MLG), and more are scheduled to launch by the end of this holiday season. With these new additions, our catalog will increase by 25%, bringing it to more than 225 apps around the world.

From day one, a core pillar in our vision for Xbox One has been to offer gamers the ability to play blockbuster games and seamlessly switch to the TV shows, movies, and apps they love. With more than 180 apps and entertainment experiences available across Xbox One and Xbox 360 today, entertainment usage on Xbox Live has continually skyrocketed.

“Xbox fans are spending more time than ever on the console, spending more than five hours a day on Xbox One,” said Yusuf Mehdi, Corporate Vice President, Devices and Studios at Microsoft. “Today as we announce new commitments from dozens of our partners, including deep integration with experiences like Twitter and Vine, we hit an important milestone in our journey to deliver unique experiences on Xbox. We’re thrilled to break new ground in social TV experiences like we’re doing with Twitter on Xbox One.”

Some already announced actually but an updated list.

As someone from the UK: No SkyGo and no BBC iPlayer. So I guess they're not coming soon then

 

[harrypmgaga]

inb4 the bloatware

 

[Ishan]

Dat pachter expectations

 

[legacyzero]

Seems like every year, I forget people are going to use that damn word so much.

 

[10k]

45 new experiences but a game ain't one.

Most of these apps don't work in Canada like Hulu Go and netflix is terrible here

 

[DieH@rd]

I've read the word "experiences" in the title using Final Bossman voice.

twitter is new?

 

[DudeWithNoName]

It's nice to have the option to use some of these apps and services. Admittedly I probably won't for the most part. But nice nonetheless.

 

[IHaveIce]

What about Sky Go, it is on the 360 it should be on the One

 

[scsa]

No more TV TV TV TV
Get us them games.

Let's see how this works out.

 

[ZackGamer]

45 new experiences but a game ain't one.

Most of these apps don't work in Canada like Hulu Go and netflix is terrible here

Dont you mean most of the aps dont work in EU?

 

[harSon]

Fuck yes. Been hoping they'd add shit like Showtime Anywhere, Starz Play, Max Go, etc.

 

[Malio]

"Experiences".

I cannot wait. /s

 

[Infernostew]

Use of a PR keyword is troubling.

 

[Ran Ran]

HBO GO!

Finally!

 

[Triggerhappytel]

"bringing it to more than 225 apps around the world*."

*NB - around 180 of these will not work outside of the USA.

 

[Rockyrock]

all I needed to see was HBO GO

 

[Pankratous]

That's a lot.

 

[FrankT]

HBO Go finally.

Yes!

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

45 experiences announced
5 people care about
1 thats outside the US

 

[mrklaw]

still no iplayer, you'd have thought that'd be ready by now - especially with the paywall gone.

 

[digita1alchemy]

"Experiences, experiences, experiences, experiences!"

 

[shandy706]

Hmmm...I'll actually use quite a few of those

The wife will be glad iHeartRadio is coming.

 

[SuicidalSteve]

Now TV. Xbox One: UK


It's on that list you posted but others not so sure

 

[twobear]

I hope some of these come to PS4 too.

 

[Barzul]

HBO GO!!!!!!!!!

Time to binge watch Entourage and The wire.

 

[Takao]

Why are Twitter and Vine exclusive to the US?

 

[Shanlei91]

HBO GO. Xbox One: US: Xbox 360: MX, BR, AR, CO, CH

 

[Ran Ran]

Vine?

Now that's weird...

I guess putting game clips on there could be cool.

 

[blazeuk]

Shame there's no Sky Go listed, especially when it's coming to the PS4.

 

[Lirrik]

It would be more useful if they made a snappable Twitter app with autorefreshng timeline. And since when are Twitter and Vine US-only?

 

[Maffew]

Now TV is in that list.

 

[BruiserBear]

This is great news. Particularly the HBO and Showtime apps. I'd love to get rid of my cable box.

 

[Carl]

I've read the word "experiences" in the title using Final Bossman voice.

Me too. Damn it Kyle

 

[WhatsintheBox]

There's something for everyone across the board, i approve.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Phil Spencer: Keeping this shit off of the E3 stage.

Job well done sir.

 

[jon bones]

i know people dislike when x1 leans away from games, but some of these are rad

is app port begging bannable? i wouldnt mind the comedy central app on my ps4 for some colbert lol

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Phil Spencer: Keeping this shit off of the E3 stage.

Job well done sir.

Yep.

 

[rokkerkory]

Sweet let's get the TV stuff out of the way... focus on games!!!

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Check the Xbox Wire article for detailed description about Twitter integration into TV/OneGuide and Vine integration into Upload Studios.

Pretty cool stuff.

Glad to see some more apps confirmed that I will be using often, but a lack of a Comcast Xfinity app when Verizon has had one available for ages is a bit lame.

 

[FrankT]

Phil Spencer: Keeping this shit off of the E3 stage.

Job well done sir.

Games bro, games.

 

[backflip10019]

HBO Go finally.

Yes!

I'll believe it when I see it. They promised it in December last year.

 

[viveks86]

Threw up a little after reading "experiences". Thanks for changing the title at least!

Man! Those are a lot of apps! Good stuff!

 

[Ade]

Sigh, so the UK gets NowTV but not Sky Go and Twitter is oddly US only?

 

[Wizman23]

With HBO GO coming to XB1, it will be time to put my 360 to sleep. RIP, its been a great 9 years!

 

[JB1981]

No paywall and stealing this stuff from family members. Sick.

 

[Steverulez]

Now TV. Xbox One: UK


It's on that list you posted but others not so sure

Now TV is in that list.

Yeh my bad, I was browsing the list and missed it. No iPlayer and SkyGo confirmation is annoying though

 

[Malo]

Hurry up crunchyroll.

 

[Sean]

Can't wait for HBO Go.

I can see Twitter being useful in snap mode.
