Windows 10 Preview Gets Xbox App Today
Earlier this week, Microsoft detailed how Windows 10 will interact with the Xbox One. Part of that integration is the Xbox App, which is available today for Windows 10 preview members.
In the video below, you’ll see how friends, profiles, and notifications work in the app. If you’re a member of the preview program you should be able to start using it today.

Our Take
Having the flexibility to game away from the console is a feature I’m excited about. I use my Vita to play PS4 titles, and I will likely push Xbox One content to my laptop. It will be important for Microsoft to have coverage for this feature across as much of the library as possible, though. If the selection is too slim, people won’t get in the habit of using the feature.
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.
