Do you have your Xbox console? You don't need to play from one place anymore, it's time to move to another level. It doesn't matter where you are, just that you have your phone with you. The rest is made possible by this app, bringing you previously unimagined possibilities. The game begins, let's move forward!
No matter the distance
The important thing is that you have a good internet connection. If this is not your case, it will not be an entertaining experience for you since its outstanding functionalities will be notoriously affected by this. If you do have a stable connection, take a look at what you will be able to access.
Game streaming: Is the TV busy? With this app, this will no longer be a problem. Xbox will let you stream whatever you are playing on your console to your phone. No more family squabbles.
Communication with your friends: the Xbox app knows how important it is for you to share your games with your friends, how can you leave out something so valuable, right? You will be able to:
- Create a group or join another one.
- Chat by text or voice. Remember to connect your helmet with your phone to easily enjoy this last form of communication.
- Share screenshots and clips of your streams to the gaming community you are part of, or on your social networks (Instagram, Whatsapp and Snapchat among others).
Wherever you are
Remotely, you'll also be able to:
- Manage games: you'll be able to install and uninstall games, managing your updates and storage - the latter means you can remotely delete old games to free up space and load a new one!
- Sort and filter your achievements, being able to view leaderboards to see where you and your friends stand.
- Access offers and promotions: Directly from the app you'll not miss any discount wherever you are.
And if you're an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, a library of over 100 high quality games to explore and download from the app and access to new releases before anyone else awaits you.
An app that plays well
When you download it, Xbox guides you through setting it up on your console and runs a test to verify that your network connection, console, and controller are ready for an optimal gaming experience. It is from that moment that you will see that we are in the presence of a well-organized interface.
When you enter, you are presented with a main screen with direct access to the most important functions and recent activity, you will have no trouble finding the Game Library from where you can see the games you already have and search for new ones in the Xbox Store!
This is how easy it is to immerse yourself in an app whose interface is also intuitive, easy to understand and navigate.
It's essential to highlight the regular updating of Xbox to continuously improve its performance and incorporate more features to make you happy. The downside of this? Many users have reported that updates and bugs mean a temporary malfunction of the app. Can't make everyone happy, right?
Don't play with me
That's not the intention, so let's see right now if you can access this free app:
- If you have Android version 8.0 or higher, you can download it from the Google Play Store.
- If you have iOS version 13 or higher, you can download it from the App Store.
In addition, you must have a Bluetooth compatible controller and a Microsoft account with an Xbox profile, do you have everything? Time to play! Mind you, mobile data charges may apply, ouch.
Game over
Before we finish, keep in mind that you can be “out of game” for two factors:
- Your internet connection: remember that this will clearly affect the app's functionalities (including the possibility of low game resolution if your connection is bad).
- Your geographical location: some services may not be available, game over if this is the case.
