From /r/xboxone, a leaked MS training portal screenshot:

This week, Microsoft announced huge news which impacts more than one of those devices. Today, Spotify is coming to Windows 10 PC's and Xbox.

Finally the exclusivity deal is coming to an end and we'll see official support on the Xbox, hopefully very soon.

Finally, one of the weirdest exclusivity deals in the history of this industry comes to an end.

Spotify was already available through the W10 store. But it feels like a converted win32 application.
 
Cool, now bring Google Play Music to PS4.

(I know this has nothing to do with the thread, but I would sooo much rather have that than Spotify.)
 
"Today, Spotify is coming to Windows 10 PC's and Xbox."

so it's coming today? or it was announced to be coming soon, today?

Think they've used that Centennial converter for the UWP version of it. I wonder if they're making a big-screen friendly version of that or a brand new UWP version?
 
how can people even play games while listening to music? i find it too distracting and during cutscenes it is annoying.

the only games i play while listening to music are Diablo 3 and Rocket League.

It was great on the OG Xbox and 360, the music would automatically fade during cut scenes and in game chit chat.
 
Good for Spotify users. BTW Groove was 3 months free with 200 MS points this week. Not sure if it's still open. Just a FYI...

I usually don't when going through for the first time. I mostly listen to other music when I'm either grinding (Dark Souls for example) or travelling. Could never play music over cutscenes or story beats.

You ask a question but give an example that you exercise in which you contradict your own question. Basically, there are games that people would want to listen to their music to.
 
With the exclusivity deal ending hopefully it means Sony will add more music services to the PS4. Can't wait to use Spotify on my Xbox one though.

well i'm assuming most people play music in all sorts of different games. i can understand playing in a game with no dialogue/cutscenes but more story oriented games with music playing over people talking? that'd be distracting/annoying like i already said.

Google, actually have a way to use Play Music which isn't a phone app or web browser, surely you jest. Seriously, Google's mismanagement of Play Music is why I returned to Spotify.
