Xbox SmartGlass is now available to download on iOS.
The free app lets players use their iPad or iPhone to control their Xbox 360, including using their iDevice to control video playback, search Xbox LIVE and message their Xbox LIVE friends.
Head over to the App Store to snap it up.
SmartGlass also introduces ‘second screen’ functionality to Xbox 360, displaying relevant information about the movie they’re watching or game they’re playing.
Games already compatible with SmartGlass include Forza Horizon, Halo 4 and Dance Central 3.
The app replaces Microsoft’s previous ‘My Xbox LIVE’ app. If you’ve previously downloaded My Xbox LIVE on your iDevice, an update will automatically transform it to Xbox SmartGlass.
