Xbox One Gets New Media Apps; HBO Go Not Among Them
Xbox One Gets New Media Apps; HBO Go Not Among Them-October 2024
Oct 28, 2024 2:32 PM

  Three new media apps are now available on Xbox One, but HBO Go is not among them. The new streaming apps, as detailed in a post on the Xbox Wire, are Crunchyroll, Movieplex Play, and Encore Play, which you can now download and use on your Xbox One.

  Crunchyroll features an array of anime titles, including Naruto, Sailor Moon, Sword Art Online, and One Piece. In all, the app features more than 20,000 episodes of (subtitled) anime, as well as Korean drama programming and live-action content. The app even supports voice and gesture control via Kinect.

  The Crunchyroll app on Xbox OneThe Movieplex Play and Encore Play apps, meanwhile, offer up movies such as Iron Man 3 and After Earth, among others. Shows including Magnum, P.I. and Murphy Brown are also among the more than 1,500 titles available in the app. These apps are free to download, though you'll need a subscription through your TV provider to access the content.

  The HBO Go app is scheduled to arrive on Xbox One before the end of the year. Some images of it even leaked not too long ago, suggesting its release might be imminent.

  At the moment, you need to pay for a pricey subscription to a cable or satellite TV service in order to use HBO Go, but in October, HBO CEO Richard Plepler made the surprising announcement that HBO will launch as a stand-alone service in the United States next year.

  What Xbox One apps do you use most regularly? For me, Netflix is number one. What about you?
