"Key features – like the ability to explore Game Pass and manage your membership – will now be found in one place with the Xbox app on mobile. You'll be able to browse the full Game Pass catalog to find your favorite games and stay in the loop with alerts for new games coming to the service. If you're a Game Pass Ultimate member, you'll also be able to view and claim your Perks."
Honestly, the Xbox Game Pass app was always pretty redundant, so this is kind of overdue. There's no reason that these features shouldn't have just been in the standard Xbox app in the first place. The problem has always been the fact that you can't actually play Game Pass games on the app; if you want to do so, you have to use a workaround to put a supported browser on your phone screen. If you do use Cloud Streaming on your phone's home screen, you basically have three different Xbox apps. Narrowing it down to two was long overdue, and this should be good news for anyone that was running low on phone space.
