Apple TV app on Xbox and Playstation

earlier a tweet already appeared from an “Xbox Ambassador,” who claimed Apple TV for Xbox is coming. Meanwhile confirms the Windows Central website in a tweet that it is. The announcement of the new app may coincide with the introduction of the new Xbox Series X and Series S on November 10. It is still unclear whether it also works on older consoles such as the Xbox One.

With the Apple TV app you can stream TV shows and movies from Apple TV+. You can also watch Apple TV channels and browse your iTunes library. You can also rent or buy more than 100,000 TV series and movies from the iTunes Store. It is not the first device on which Apple’s TV app appears, as a lot of work has been done in recent months to expand to all conceivable devices. In addition to Apple’s own devices, you can use the Apple TVcontent will also play on Samsung, LG, and Vizio televisions, and on Roku and Amazon Fire TV TV boxes. In this way, Apple tries to be in more and more places, so that the Apple TV+ service attracts more viewers.

A member of the Xbox Insider Program recently posted a photo of the Apple TV app online, showing that the app was ready for testing. However, it did not work and the app was later taken down. Currently, a limited group of Xbox testers can use it as a preview. Several sources have since confirmed it. The TV app for the Xbox is similar to that of the smart TVs from LG and Samsung. You operate with the Xbox controller instead of your remote control.

The fact that Apple and Microsoft work together on this is remarkable, since both companies were recently involved in a conflict about Xbox Game Pass. Apple’s policy makes it impossible for Microsoft to provide a cloud gaming service. Microsoft would then use each game individually through the App Store must offer. Of course this concerns different departments within Apple. With TV series, it is not necessary to offer each TV series and film separately.
