Xbox Live App On iPhone…Officially December 8, 2011

The days promised to us back in 2006 with the Live Anywhere announcement may finally be coming to fruition. Or you could say that Microsoft has decided to just give up a major exclusive feature that was previously only officially on Windows Phones, because lets face it, nobody had one.

My Xbox Live has just been added to the iTunes app store free of charge. With the app you’ll be able to read your messages, achievements, view your friends list and achievements, and modify your Xbox Live Avatar. You will also be able to stream various videos you can stream on your Xbox 360 like Talk With Tina or Major’s Minute.

I’m hoping this means we’ll see more programs which were only on windows phone coming up for more widely used platforms, like Halo Waypoint and some previously exclusive games, like the one I got to play at E3 while in line for Gears of War 3.

You will need to have previously accepted the recently updated Xbox Live Terms of Service in order to access your profile on the phone. You can do that when you log into Xbox.com or your 360. The My Xbox Live app is free.
