BBC working on iPlayer app for Xbox One
Speaking to Digital Spy, a spokesperson for the company said that while the app won't be ready in time for the Xbox One release date of November 22, 2013, one is in development.
"BBC iPlayer is already available to audiences on over 1,000 devices and platforms in the UK," reads a statement from the BBC. "While we are working to bring BBC iPlayer to Xbox One in the future, we have no further details to share at this time."
The Xbox 360 currently has a BBC iPlayer app, as do PS3 and Wii. It has yet to be confirmed if PS4 will feature one at launch.
Microsoft recently revealed the full list of apps that will be available on day one for Xbox One. The UK will receive apps for 4oD, blinkbox, Crackle, Demand 5, Eurosport, LoveFilm, Machinima, MUZU TV, Netflix, NOW TV, TED, Twitch and Wuaki.tv.
In October, Machinima showed off its Xbox One app, revealing how players will be able to use the console's multitasking Snap feature to launch and run the app alongside the game for supplementary content such as videos and guides.

Wait, you have to pay extra to watch certain channels or TV in general?
