HBO Go app arrives on Xbox One

4.7
HBO launched its HBO Go app on Xbox One today, finally allowing owners to stream episodes from shows like True Detective and Game of Thrones. The network also offers a number of films, such as its documentary on gaming addiction, Love Child. The app is Kinect compatible, so viewers can navigate the network's streaming selections with their voice or gestures.

HBO's app was one of 35 announced for Microsoft's platform in June that are expected to launch by the end of the year. Of course, HBO Go is available to those with a subscription; stand-alone streaming subscriptions for HBO will first be available in 2015. The app also requires authentication with an eligible TV provider, a list of which can be found on Microsoft's announcement page.

Not sure about this, basically just the same as all the other watch tv services like NOW tv and Netflix.

SwiftPosted:

Now they need to release a standalone service, I need it.

Just hope they do that before Game of Thrones next Spring.
