Fubo TV Comes to Xbox One
June 1, 2020
Online TV service FuboTV is launching its first app on Microsoft’s Xbox One video game platform. With the new app, Xbox users (with a $54.99 subscription) can stream sports, news and entertainment TV channels, VOD movies and TV shows. Xbox One X and Xbox One S users can also stream 4K content.
FuboTV features include replaying the last live channel watched when the app is launched. Users can flip through other channels while watching live video. They can also browse recommended sports, news and entertainment content — both live and on demand.

Subs can DVR entire series, including upcoming episodes, and monitor available cloud DVR storage via a progress bar. All DVR content is available in perpetuity until the user deletes it.
Fubo also lets up to six users within a subscription personalize their viewing options. Each user can create their own profile, favorite channels (which sets the preferred order of how channels appear in the Electronic Program Guide) and DVR the content they want to watch. Personalized content recommendations for each profile will be launched soon.
Xbox users can subscribe to fuboTV by navigating to the app from the Microsoft Store on Xbox. Additionally, fuboTV will optimize Xbox’s faster load times to ensure less buffering such as when the user selects a live new channel to watch.
“Microsoft makes it easy for us to bring our HTML5 TV application to their platform,” Geir Magnusson Jr., CTO, fuboTV, said in a statement. “We’ll continue to iterate on the app to leverage even more Xbox One features. We look forward to bringing fuboTV’s HTML 5 TV application to even more platforms, including other gaming consoles and smart TVs.”
