Xbox Users Can Use Spotify to 'Soundtrack' Gaming Sessions, Says Music Service

Spotify launched on Xbox One in 34 global markets Tuesday, said an Xbox blog post by Spotify, which said Xbox gamers have been telling the music streaming service they’d like to be able to "soundtrack" their own gaming sessions using Spotify to customize the experience. Users download the Spotify app from the Xbox Store, where they can choose from their saved music or Spotify’s 30 million-track catalog, it said. Users can also browse precurated gaming playlists in the “Gaming” hub, it said. Free and Premium Spotify users can play music on demand via the Xbox One controller or from a smartphone app using Spotify Connect, it said.
