Background music playback won't be coming to Xbox One before summer

4.8
Since Microsoft rolled out the New Xbox One Experience in November, new features have been added. There are still plenty of features in development, but one feature that is at the top of the list won't be making it's way to the Xbox One for some time.

That feature is background music playback, which will let you have the ability to open a music app on the console, and then jump into a game full-screen while the music continues to play.

Phil Spencer responded to a tweet saying that it won't be out "before summer."

There are other ways to accomplish this goal anyways. You can always snap a music app and just go about your life.

Mickers Jees, can not be that hard to add in.


When it comes to this stuff everything is much much harder to do than it seems. Microsoft also has priorities above that probably.
