HBO Go App Now Available For Xbox One

by Mike Futter on Nov 20, 2014 at 01:39 AM

As we reported earlier this week, HBO Go’s arrival on Xbox One wasn’t far off. In fact, Microsoft is rolling out the feature across the network today.

HBO Go offers subscribers of the premium channel access to on-demand movies and original programming. This includes Game of Thrones, True Detective, The Newsroom, and more. Older shows, like Entourage and The Sopranos are available, also.

This week also marked the release of Encore Play and Movieplex Play. Those apps provide content for subscribers of the Encore and Movieplex premium channels. If you are having trouble finding the HBO Go app, use the Bing feature on the console.

Our Take
And now Xbox 360 owners have one fewer reason to leave their old console connected. It still feels weird to have drifted away from the 360 toward the new-gen systems, and HBO Go was the most frequent thing bringing me back lately.
