While we’ve been hearing lots of news about the Sony PlayStation 4’s release, both good and bad, let’s not forget that there’s also another next-gen console about to be released: the Xbox One. While the console itself isn’t due out for a few more days, Microsoft has green-lit the release of its companion Android app, Xbox One SmartGlass, which much like its predecessor, will allow you to interact with your Xbox One in various ways all from your Android device including the following:
- Navigate your Xbox One console using your device’s keyboard and touch
- Control your media and set top box with the SmartGlass remote control
- Browse the web on your TV using your mobile device
- Enhance what you are watching or playing with SmartGlass companions
- Increase performance with faster connections and reliability
The app itself is pretty useless without the console, but if you still want to check out the app now and the get a taste of what’s to come, it’s available on the Play Store for free as we speak. Note that you’ll have to have a device with Android 4.0 or higher to install it. Hit the Play Store links below if you want to download the app.
