Xbox Game Pass App Launches on Android and IOS

Microsoft is launching a new mobile app for Xbox owners at Gamescom today. The company is today launching the Xbox Game Pass app for Android and iOS in a preview.

The new Xbox Game Pass app will let users view the Xbox Game Pass catalog from their mobile devices. You will be able to view games that are included in Game Pass, as well as new titles that have been recently added. The app includes a search feature which lets you check whether a certain title is available with Game Pass. Moreover, you can use the app to directly install a game available with the pass on  your Xbox One remotely which is very neat. This will obviously require you to login to your Xbox account, which will also enable you to view games that you have already installed or games that are ready to be installed.
