About Xbox app
The Xbox app brings your Xbox account together across phone, tablet and Windows PC. You can see what friends are playing, send messages, join parties and manage supported gaming devices, and you can buy games or browse the catalog without sitting at a console.
On mobile it works as a remote control and social hub: it can manage a console, track achievements and let you share captures. On Windows it also serves as the place to find and install PC games and to access Xbox Game Pass titles for members. Some features, such as cloud gaming, depend on a Game Pass subscription and a compatible device.
The app itself is free and requires a Microsoft account. It is the obvious choice for anyone who owns an Xbox or subscribes to Game Pass, and it is less useful if you do not use Microsoft's gaming services. Store ratings are high on both Google Play and the App Store, reflecting its large user base.
You do not need an Xbox console to get value from it, but Game Pass is where it becomes most useful on PC. Check which features your region and subscription tier include.
