Xbox

Xbox from Microsoft Corporation is a companion for people who play on a console or PC and want to stay in touch from a phone or tablet. It shows friends, game invitations, achievements and messages, and it lets you buy games without leaving the interface.

The core is connection to people and devices. Voice and text chat works with friends whether they sit at a console or a computer. Clips and screenshots captured on the console can be pushed to favourite gaming and social networks, and a chosen title can be queued and installed on the console remotely. A Game Pass section offers tailored suggestions and alerts about new releases, and Rewards points can be tracked, claimed and redeemed.

It fits console owners and PC players who like keeping their gaming circle in a pocket. An internet connection and an account are required, and the remote features need a supported device. Rated for 12+.
