The company is merging the Xbox Game Pass app into the main Xbox mobile app. This change is aimed at streamlining the user experience. It will also now allow players to explore the entire Xbox gaming library without switching between two separate apps. As of now, Xbox players on mobile (both iOS and Android) have two apps to access. One is the Xbox app that provides console access, game streaming, and social features. The other one is the Xbox Game Pass app, which lets players access a subscription-based library of downloadable games. Once the announced merger of Xbox Game Pass App and Main Xbox App is done, users will be able to manage everything through a single app. Joe Skrebels, Xbox Wire Editor-in-Chief in a press statement said, “Starting this week, we’re streamlining the mobile app experience by moving features from the separate Xbox Game Pass app into the Xbox app.” Microsoft advises players to keep the Xbox mobile app on mobile up to date for the latest content. (Image credit - Xbox) At first, this merger will start with Xbox beta members. However, the plan is to roll out the new changes gradually to all users. Microsoft also announced that as a part of the changes new downloads of the Xbox Game Pass app will be blocked from November. “These updates will be available for Xbox beta members on mobile and will be coming to everyone soon.

You’ll be able to browse the full Game Pass catalogue to find your favourite games and stay in the loop with alerts for new games coming to the service. If you’re a Game Pass Ultimate member, you’ll also be able to view and claim your Perks. Game Pass Ultimate members can also stream select games through Xbox Cloud Gaming on their iOS or Android devices using a supported browser at xbox.com/play.” Apart from merging both Xbox apps, Microsoft also announced several other updates and features in the press statement.
