Apple TV App Reportedly Coming to Xbox, 'Likely' in Time for Series X/S Launch on November 10

by

The Apple TV app is coming to Xbox, according to Windows Central, which tweeted that it can "confirm" the news. It is unclear when the app will arrive on Xbox, but the report claims it will "likely" be available in time for the launch of the new Xbox Series X and Series S consoles on November 10. It is unclear if older consoles like the Xbox One would be supported.

A member of the Xbox Insider beta program recently shared a photo that appears to show the Apple TV app in a list of apps available to test, although they said the app was non-functional and disappeared shortly after.

But Apple won't be able to stream movies and shows, unless the movies and tv shows are each available for download on the xbox store

Apple needs to come to Playstation. The PS5 is getting far more attention and interest with customers over Xbox.
Next Gen? I don't know man.......I do see a lot more interest in Xbox, and people compelled more about their service offerings with the Bethesda deal being a huge thing as well.

But I do agree, they should release on both

Cool, as both Xbox and Apple user, always interested in this kind of partnerships, the main one I am interested in is the other way around, but hope they work it out and we are able to get xCloud on iOS and even TVOS.
