Released in 2014 on Windows 10, the Xbox application renamed Xbox Companion in 2019 following the release of new Xbox support will be discontinued at the end of August.
The transition to the Xbox app is coming to an end
Indeed, Microsoft announced the near end of its Xbox application for Windows PC. Starting August 28, users will no longer be able to access this application on their Windows PCs.
In reality, Microsoft had already abandoned this application in favor of a new version, simply called Xbox, still compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11. This new version will now be the only solution for managing Xbox content from a PC.
“On July 28, 2023, we announced that the Xbox Console Companion app on Windows will be deprecated on August 28, 2023. If you’ve been affected by this issue and are looking for ways to continue interacting with games, Xbox services and communities on your Windows device, the Xbox app for Windows will keep you connected to all things Xbox and gaming on your Windows device. »
The Xbox app launched in 2019 for Windows 10 will very soon be Microsoft’s only official Windows app for its Xbox consoles. As a reminder, it allows PC owners to download and play PC games, remotely play Xbox console games over their local network on their PC, access Xbox Cloud Gaming if they are subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and more.
The transition to the official Xbox app will be automatic for late Xbox Companion app users. By streamlining its offer and offering a single Xbox application on Windows, Microsoft wants to clarify its ecosystem.
