The Console Wars are heating up, and Sony’s already struck a blow with the successful release of its PS4 last week. Microsoft’s new console, the Xbox One, comes out in just a few short days. Dropping on Friday, November 22, the Xbox One will have the customary midnight release. Yesterday, Windows Phone users got the chance to download Xbox One SmartGlass app. Today it’s out for iOS and Android too!
While you can’t do much with the app right now, you’ll be ahead of the game when you bring home your shiny, new Xbox One! SmartGlass will let you control lots of media features on the new console, as well as navigating menus. If you’re away from home, you can access your Xbox Live account to watch game DVR clips, look at achievements, and pin games to your Xbox One home screen.
Future updates should bring more promising options, like second screen features in certain games, and even remote play. You can grab the Xbox One Smart Glass app here for Windows Phone, iOS, and Android. For more information the description from the Google Play store:
