The Sony PlayStation 4 missed out on a killer Microsoft Xbox One feature a couple of years ago, when EA Access was first announced.
It appeared a misstep on the tech giant’s part, leaving fans without the option of the subscription service.
But the PlayStation 4 and PS4 Pro got something else later on that made up for that, the Spotify app.
The new option gave players a great new way to incorporate their own musical tastes into their gaming experience and is something that’s not been available on Microsoft Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch.
However, that could all be changing very soon.
A new leak this week appears to confirm that the Spotify app is coming to the Xbox One and Xbox One X, although nothing new has been found for Switch support.
Xbox’s Larry Hryb appears to have been spotted trying out the new app, and has been seen as part of his Xbox account’s activity.
