Background Music Not Coming To Xbox One Until After Windows 10

4.5

Xbox One owners have been waiting to get a background music feature for some time now. One fan decided to tweet at Microsoft’s head of the Xbox division and get to the bottom of it.

Luckily for us, Phil Spencer answered the question of background music with a tweet of his own. “We have to land Win10 on XB1 before we’ll get background music, so a little later,” he said. So there you have it. Xbox One needs Windows 10, before it can have background music. There still hasn’t been an official release date for Windows 10, but it is rumored to be some time in the to early fall.

Microsoft will be having thier press conference at E3 next month. More details on this matter might be available then. We’ll have to wait and see.

Don't know why they can't just add it now, or before..

How i wish they would have added this already. Must be good to listen to your own tunes and play your games.

I would honestly really like this feature. I've always wanted music to play out my headphones and still hear the game.

I dont really like snapping music into the side because it reduces the screen size. Would this be considered background music though? It works

It's a pretty simple thing to add. The XB360 had it on release. MS and Sony are just lazy now when it comes to their consoles. It seems like neither of them care.

Or you can just play some music from your phone.

ReconXeX2435 I love this feature. I have always used it.

This feature is still in the process of being implemented on the Xbox One. It can't be used yet on that console.

So it looks like a nice feature like this will take more time to become implemented.
