That is, we will have to have an Xbox console to be able to use the application.

The new Xbox app (still in beta) seeks to keep gamers connected to their friends, games and console from mobile or tablet and from anywhere.In other words, it seeks to keep you in the "Xbox world" wherever you are. In addition to being able to play remotely, the new application allows you to share game clips and screenshots on social networks, follow text and voice chat and even get notifications from our games.

Play from mobile

Without a doubt the most striking novelty of the new version of the Xbox application for Android is the Remote Game Although it was a feature that already was implemented in the previous version of the app, now Microsoft has removed the requirement to be an Xbox Insider. From now on all Xbox gamers will be able to play games they've downloaded to their consoles directly on mobile or tabletWith Xbox remote play we can connect to the console remotely and access downloaded games, including Xbox Game Pass titles.

In addition to remote play, there are sign-in mode changes We can now sign in to as many Xbox consoles or Xbox apps as we want, all at the same time. That is, we can use our console to watch movies, chat with friends and more.

Notifications, chat, social sharing and more

For example, in the new application we can receive notifications of parties, chats, new friends and followers, screenshots ready to share and much more further. We can also use our mobile phones to send a quick message to a friend or chat with our gamer friends using voice chatthat incorporates the new app.

On the other hand, the new Xbox Series X and S wireless controller has a built-in share button. This allows us to capture our best moments in games and share them on our social networks or with our friends from the console itself or using the mobile application.
