2015-07-07 08:50:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Microsoft announced on the Windows Blog that it is rebranding Xbox Music as Groove and Xbox Video as Movies & TV as part of the launch of Windows 10. The change will first be seen on Windows 10 PCs before it is rolled out to other devices in the coming months. The ad-free Groove Music Pass subscription costs USD 9.99 a month or USD 99 a year for complete access to stream and download music from Windows Store. Subscribers can also create custom radio stations based on favourite songs, albums and artists. Current Xbox Music Pass holders will be automatically switched to Groove. The Movies & TV app in Windows 10 allows users to play their personal videos, films and TV shows. More file format support has been added, including .mkv files. Movies & TV integrates directly with Windows Store, offering films and TV shows for rent or purchase. New releases are added weekly and TV shows are available a day after they air. Windows Insiders who are a part of the Fast ring and upgrade to the next PC build will see these updates in the Store beta first, while remaining customers will have these updates with Windows 10 starting on 29 July.

Will Microsoft bring Xbox Live Gold to the PC?

2015-01-26 14:47:07| Extremetech

Premium gaming services like Xbox Live Gold and PlayStation Plus have done very well on consoles, but they've largely been absent from the world of PC gaming. Multiplayer is almost always free (except MMOs), and Steam sales have kept the cheap games flowing at a constant rate. But now Microsoft is considering bringing Xbox Live Gold to the PC, and finally giving Valve a run for its money.
