Stan launches Xbox app.
Streaming service Stan is now available on Microsoft's Xbox One via a new app which allows users to use voice controls to browse and play video.
Xbox One owners can now watch Stan’s lineup of exclusive premieres in 2016, including Better Call Saul Season 2 on February 16, plus returning seasons of UnREAL and Power later in the year.
Stan Original Series Wolf Creek and No Activity Season 2 will also premiere this year.
Stan’s director of content and product, Nick Forward, said the launch on Xbox would offer a unique viewing experience for subscribers to enjoy Stan’s growing lineup of exclusive premieres.
"We look forward to bringing Australians even more ways to watch the very best TV content on more and more platforms throughout 2016,” he said.
Microsoft Australia's Jeremy Hinton, said he was delighted to welcome Stan to the Xbox One.
"Stan’s content lineup has something for everyone which perfectly complements our incredible list of unique entertainment features on the console such as Live TV, Voice Control, Skype, Xbox Fitness and a huge selection of sports apps, to name a few," he said.
"The inclusion of Stan further cements Xbox One as the home of entertainment in Australia.”
The Stan app on Xbox One will offer full voice support via Xbox Kinect so you can use voice controls to browse and play video.
It will also be streaming in HD.
Stan makes use of Xbox One exclusive features, including Snap – allowing viewers to snap the app to the side of the screen while performing other activities on console – and will be fully integrated with Xbox One’s Oneguide not long after launch.
Xbox One also has a number of additional platform features coming soon, including Full Live TV DVR, and the digital personal assistant ‘Cortana’.
