The first wave of Xbox One TV and Entertainment apps have been announced for the UK, the US and other launch territories.
The apps will be released between launch on November 22 and spring 2014, though Microsoft hasn’t stated which apps will be ready from day one.
“We set out to make Xbox One the all-in-one games and entertainment hub for your home. The one system that offers the best games next to the best entertainment experiences and apps,” said Marc Whitten, Xbox chief product officer. “Along with offering a stellar app portfolio from around the world, Xbox One takes the next step by offering them in a way that is seamless and easy to use.”

Microsoft says it will “continue to announce more apps coming to the platform and both the Xbox One and Xbox 360 entertainment app portfolios will continue to grow weekly”.
Furthermore, the following apps will also be available in all markets.
- Xbox Fitness
- Xbox Video
- Xbox Music
- Internet Explorer
- Skype
- SkyDrive
- Upload
The only missing apps from our point of view are BBC iPlayer and SkyGo, which are pretty big losses for the UK market. Microsoft hasn’t said if or when the apps will make an appearance.
