On September 14, the Movies Anywhere app has launched on Xbox consoles. The app allows users to watch movies and TV shows from various digital retailers.
The Movies Anywhere app is available now in the Microsoft store for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X. The app allows users to sync purchased content from Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, Google Play/YouTube, Microsoft Movies & TV, Xfinity, Verizon, and DirectTV, so all your content is in one place. It will also show you content for sale and redirect you to your favorite retailer.
The Movies Anywhere app has been expanding into new markets in the past year. It launched on Samsung TVs earlier this year. In 2020, Movies Anywhere announced Screen Pass, which allows you to share selected movies with friends, and this also gives users the ability to watch content together.
Movies Anywhere on Xbox launches with 4K, HDR 10, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos support. Of course, your TV and sound system must be able to support that. Movies Anywhere is free to sign up and use, and in addition to Xbox, it is available on mobile devices, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Android TV, Roku, newer LG TVs, Vizio SmartCast TV, and Samsung Smart TVs.
