The app will also build in Remote Play streaming from Xbox consoles, finally enabling a long-promised feature.

You’ll be able to set up a new console using the smartphone app, for example, any time you hit the Share button, you’ll be able to then watch it and decide how you want to share it from the app, and there’s all the messaging, achievement and other features you’d expect. Currently in a beta release, it will adopt the new UI design that is coming to all current Xbox consoles alongside the launch of the Xbox Series X | S, and is intended to have deeper connections to the consoles. This is all part of Microsoft’s revamped Xbox app for mobile. That day one Destiny 2 disc? Well, it’s literally just an unlock key. Yes, they come stuffed with 50GB of data (or more on next-gen), but you have to install games to the console hard drive and games often transform and expand dramatically through patches. Essentially, it’s formalising the role that discs have had for much of the current generation.
