As rumored (and then sorta leaked) over the past couple of weeks, Spotify is finally coming to the Xbox One. It’s pretty much the best music streaming service out there, so it’s great to see the once PS4 exclusive music app show up on other console platforms.
See the official announcement below and at the Xbox Wire site, here.
Whether you?re battling hordes of enemies, scoring the winning goal or just enjoying the scenic routes of your favorite open world game, the greatest gaming experiences all have one thing in common ? a majestic soundtrack. The perfect soundtrack can take you back to reminisce about moments of gaming triumph, or get you fired up for the next big challenge ahead.
At Spotify, we believe that the right music can make every moment special, wherever and whenever you are. For some time now, Xbox gamers have been telling us that they?d like to be able to soundtrack their own gaming sessions using Spotify, to make every single session feel new and unique.
