Xbox has released its Xbox One companion app for iOS and Android devices. The app doesn't feature much right now, but it will allow you to interact with your Xbox after the new console is released on Friday. Xbox One SmartGlass features include the ability to navigate your Xbox One console using your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, track achievements, get game help, message friends, and watch game clips.
You can download the Xbox One app now for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play. It requires iOS 6 or later or Android 4.0 or later.
The real console wars start on November 22nd when the Xbox One officially launches. Both the Xbox One and PS4 are already two of the hardest to find and hottest holiday items this year. The PlayStation 4 is sold out everywhere and Xbox One pre-orders have been sold out for months, however Microsoft has promised that all its U.S. stores will have additional non pre-order stock for sale on launch day. So make sure you line up early, because it won't last long!
