Xbox Games Pass for Android TV is reportedly in the works – morningtidings

Xbox Games Pass for Android TV is reportedly in the works - Times of India

Microsoft is determined to bring its cloud gaming service to all devices including phones, PC, tablets and the web. While the service is already available on these devices, the company appears to be planning to launch the Xbox Game Pass app for Android TV.
A couple of pieces of evidence have surfaced only that suggest the Android TV version of the Xbox Game Pass app may arrive soon.
The first evidence comes from a Reddit user (via XDA Developers). The Redditor has found a banner image in the apk teardown of the app that is designed for Android TV.
Given all the Android TV apps require a banner image that we usually see in the TV launcher, it suggests that Microsoft is working on the Android TV version of the Xbox Game Pass app and has already started laying the groundwork.
9to5Google has also reported that sideloading the Xbox Game Pass app on Android TV shows a banner image in the Android TV launcher. As we already know that the app has not arrived on the TV yet. Also, the website has confirmed that the functionality of the sideloaded app is still a bit sketchy.
It suggests that Microsoft is working on the Xbox Games Pass app for Android TV.
Also, considering Google has already announced the Stadia service for Android TV, it’s high time that Microsoft should do something about it to capture the Android TV gaming space before Google.
Right now, these are just speculation and there’s no official confirmation from Microsoft that by when they are planning to release the Xbox Game Pass for Android TV.
