Report: Xbox One Getting Spotify
The Verge is reporting that the recent talk of Microsoft getting Spotify for the Xbox One is indeed true.
The site says multiple sources say that the app is coming soon and is currently being tested internally.
Speculation of the deal started when a Reddit user showed Microsoft's Larry Hryb apparently using an Xbox One app for the service. There is a desktop Windows 10 Spotify app, but it's not a universal Windows app that includes Xbox One.
PlayStation currently has an exclusive deal for the streaming-music service, which has been in place since 2015.

Our Take
I'm curious how Spotify competes with and/or complements Microsoft's existing Groove music service.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
