New Xbox App will allow for remote play on iOS soon

The new Xbox App will soon head to iOS, offering the same remote play functionality that can currently be found on Android devices.

Today’s news comes by way of The Verge’s Tom Warren, who had a chance to check out the app in preview ahead of release.

The new app looks almost identical to the Xbox App on Windows PC and Android, allowing access to Achievements, Parties and text chat alongside the Microsoft Store. It also allows for connection and remote play from Xbox One consoles accessible on the same network (or theoretically, through the internet if you’ve got a static IP).

We’ll let you know when the app is available for download.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
