Microsoft intends to combine its two Xbox apps on smartphones to help streamline the experience for users.
Currently, Xbox has two separate apps on phones, the Game Pass app and the Xbox app. However, in their recent September Update, Microsoft confirmed that it plans to remove the dedicated Game Pass app, and port all the features over to the Xbox app. This change will come to Xbox Beta users first, but will eventually roll out to the general public. In the meantime, Microsoft will block new downloads of the Game Pass app from November, meaning users will be forced to use the Xbox app.
