A leaked version of Windows 10 shows Microsoft is working on an Xbox app<\/strong> and integrating Cortana into the operating system. The inclusion of Cortana shouldn’t come as a surprise since we’ve already seen leaks<\/a> in the past.<\/p>\n

It’s logical for Microsoft to build an Xbox app since it wants to unify its operating systems<\/a>. The Xbox app for Windows 10 will serve as a hub for all things Xbox, including your friends list, achievements, activity feeds, and the digital store to buy games for your console.<\/p>\n

\"Cortana<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Microsoft created an app for the Xbox. The SmartGlass app (Android<\/a> | iOS<\/a>) uses your phone or tablet as a second screen and controller<\/strong> for your console. The SmartGlass offers a richer content experience and could be rolled into the Xbox app.<\/p>\n

This leaked Windows 10 build is extremely experimental, even more so than the technical preview<\/a> so don’t expect everything to work. For example, Cortana is still very limited and relies on Microsoft’s cloud to function (which hasn’t been switched on).<\/p>\n

Windows 10 will be released sometime in the middle of 2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n
