Microsoft
is
planning
to
combine
its
Xbox
Game
Pass
and
Xbox
mobile
apps
into
a
single
application
soon.
The
software
maker
is
testing
a
new
version
of
the
Xbox
app
for
iOS
and
Android
this
week
that
includes
features
from
the
separate
Xbox
Game
Pass
app.
You’ll
soon
be
able
to
explore
the
full
Game
Pass
library
and
manage
memberships
within
the
Xbox
mobile
app.
Game
Pass
Ultimate
members
will
also
be
able
to
claim
perks
within
this
updated
Xbox
app.
“These
updates
will
be
available
for
Xbox
beta
members
on
mobile
and
will
be
coming
to
everyone
soon,”
says
Microsoft
in
a
blog
post.
“As
part
of
these
changes,
we
will
no
longer
support
new
downloads
of
the
Xbox
Game
Pass
app,
starting
in
November.”
The
new
Xbox
app
will
now
include
the
Game
Pass
integration
alongside
party
chat,
text
chat,
access
to
game
captures,
and
the
ability
to
remote
install
or
remote
play
games.
Microsoft
and
Apple
continue
to
argue
about
cloud
gaming
apps,
so
there’s
still
no
ability
to
stream
games
on
iOS
or
Android
inside
of
the
Xbox
mobile
apps.
If
you
want
to
stream
games
to
your
phone,
you’ll
need
to
continue
to
access
xbox.com/play
from
a
browser.
The
mobile
Game
Pass
changes
come
just
weeks
after
Microsoft
launched
its
Xbox
Game
Pass
Standard
tier,
which
includes
console
multiplayer
access
for
$14.99
per
month.
Microsoft
first
detailed
Xbox
Game
Pass
Standard
in
July, alongside
price
increases for
Ultimate
and
PC
Game
Pass
subscribers.
