Spotify to hit Xbox One today; Here’s how to set it up

Update: It's live.

After days of rumors and sightings, Spotify is officially hitting the Xbox One and it's bringing the ability to listen to music and game at the same time. On top of that, you can even control your music through your phone (if using L3 or the directional buttons is just too much for you).

Here's what Spotify on Xbox One will feature:

• Play music in the background while gaming.
• Browse playlists from different genres and moods. Or check out new releases.
• Play your own playlists or songs from Your Music.
• Search for any song, album, or playlist.
• Use Spotify Connect to control the music from your mobile device.

If you've been anticipating Spotify hitting the Xbox One and don't want to waste any time in getting it, here's how to get it (when it goes live).

To find Spotify on Xbox One:

• Find Spotify in the Entertainment menu of your Xbox One, under All apps.
