This week, the Apple TV and Spotify apps are both getting big updates on Xbox. Apple TV will support Dolby Vision on compatible televisions, and some Apple TV+ content, like “Ted Lasso,” “Mythic Quest,” “For All Mankind,” “See,” and “The Mosquito Coast” will all support this premium HDR-like experience. And the Spotify app is being updated to support video podcasts in full screen or in the background.
Microsoft also announced that Discovery+, Paramount+, and IMDb TV are all available on Xbox now, and that more media titles would be coming to the platform this summer.
