Online gaming has two purposes: relieving some of the stress and boredom accumulated over the day, and making new friends or bringing older ones closer together. The only problem is the hardware barrier dividing gamers, namely the console and PC platforms.Xbox Console Companion is a neat software app that will bring together your friends, games, and achievements across Xbox One and Windows 10 devices.

A community dedicated store app

Most of the features that this app brings to the table revolve around the concept of bringing people, friends and strangers alike together. For example, you can join or create your clubs where you can go to play and chat with friends and other gamers like you.Getting in touch with people with similar gaming tastes and game styles is also a piece of cake since you can find games by checking Looking for Group posts, or post one that fits your personality and playstyle.The final hint that this app is dedicated to the community is that you get instant access to chat, sharing, parties, Game DVR, and achievements across PC and Xbox One.

Share content between your Xbox and Windows 10 PC easily

If you've got an Xbox One and a Mac you might like this video. Basically, with a bit of software called onecast you can play Xbox One on your Mac via a strea. 2) Play Xbox Games by Streaming (Xbox → PC → Quest) With this method you will need your Xbox One console, which we will use to stream the content to your PC (via Xbox gaming companion). From there it is possible to mirror your PC desktop (Xbox games in this case) to the Quest / Quest 2 headsets using the Virtual Desktop application. I wanted to make a discussion thread about the Xbox One/Windows 10 game streaming feature that is now available. I wasn't sure where to put this (Console vs Other OS) but I think this forum is the most appropriate. Of course, being a Mac forum we have two options: Running Windows 10 via boot camp, or a VM like Parallels.

Recording and keeping track of your best gaming moments is made easy since you can download your favorite game clips and screenshots straight to your Windows 10 PC.Besides saving the content for yourself, you can choose to stream your favorite games and entertainment from Xbox One to a Windows 10 PC while using your Xbox One controller.Since you'll be using the PC to chat with your Xbox friends, typing will be greatly simplified due to the use of a keyboard instead of the console.

A great app to avoid the gaming platforms barrier

Xbox Console Companion is a neat software tool that brings gamers from different platforms together, lets them chat, exchange impressions and strategies, share their achievements and make new friends. All in all, it is a great addition to any social gamer's virtual library.

A new app has just launched on the Xbox One that allows users to project media from their Apple devices to Microsoft’s video game console. Named, AirServer, the app acts in a similar way to Apple’s own Apple TV hardware and can pick up Apple AirPlay requests. This means that media being played on an iPhone can be sent wirelessly to play on an Xbox One or the entire desktop visual on a Mac can be mirrored on a TV.

This functionality comes at a price however with the AirServer app holding a regular RRP of $29.99. This is extremely pricey for an app with such limited usage no matter how practical it may be. The app is currently selling with a $10 discount as part of a special launch promotion but this offer will expire later today. Still, those who are heavy Apple users may want to take advantage of this offer while they can.

A new app has just launched on the Xbox One that allows users to project media from their Apple devices to Microsoft’s video game console. Named, AirServer, the app acts in a similar way to. A new $10 app called OneCast, however, has apparently figured out how to get your Xbox One games streaming to your Mac. The app isn't an official release from Xbox, however, unlike Sony's solution.

Here’s the official app description:

AirPlay mirroring for Xbox One is finally here! AirServer for Xbox transforms your Xbox into a high performance AirPlay receiver. With AirServer running on the Xbox, you can wirelessly mirror your iOS and Mac displays over to the Xbox. Use AirServer to project your mobile screen on to the big screen or simply use it to play music on your home theater system.

AirServer has been completely redesigned for the Xbox and promises buttery smooth mirroring performance with super high quality audio playback.For the home-theater enthusiasts, AirServer for Xbox also brings multi-room AirPlay audio support. If you own a set of AirPlay speakers, be sure to try out the multi-room AirPlay audio feature, now available on your Xbox through AirServer.

The AirPlay app currently has one review which criticises its lag and poor connectivity. Have you used the app yet? Let us know about your impressions in the comments below.

While most of Microsoft’s apps and services are ubiquitous today, Mac users may sometimes feel that the company is leaving them behind. OneDrive and Office 2016 are pretty good on the Mac, but today Windows 10 Mobile users can’t use the outdated Windows Phone Mac sync app to sync content between their Mac and Windows 10 Mobile phone, as an example. There is also no Groove Music or Xbox app on the Mac as of now, though things could change for the second service: according to tweet from Xbox head Phil Spencer today, an Xbox app on Mac OS X would be “totally fine”:

@[email protected]_N64 Totally fine with that. Really just about development priorities, nothing against Mac.

Xbox Console Companion Mac Os

Many PC gamers may be scratching their heads right now. Indeed, Macs are not really a popular option for playing games: according to Steam’s monthly hardware survey, only 3.60% of Steam gamers are currently using Macs while Windows claims a 95.5% market share.

However, Apple is starting to take gaming on the Mac seriously. Last year, the company announced at WWDC that Mac OS X would support Metal, its new low-level, low-overhead hardware-accelerated graphics and compute API that it introduced on iOS 8 a year before. And actually, there is already a decent collection of games on both Steam and Apple’s own Mac App Store.

Even Sony is taking the Mac seriously, as the company made PS4 Remote Play available on both PC and Mac earlier in April. Additionally, the Playstation 3 gamepad, which supports bluetooth, has also been a popular option for Mac gamers over the years as Microsoft never released official Mac drivers for the Xbox gamepads (though that will soon change as Microsoft recently announced a new Xbox One gamepad which supports the wireless standard).

So, does Microsoft need to embrace the Mac as a gaming platform and release and Xbox Mac for Mac OS X? If this app could support Game DVR features as well as game streaming from the Xbox One, it could probably help the company stay relevant in the market. But as Spencer said, this is all about “development priorities”, and the company may well want to first ship a better Xbox app on iOS and Android. Let us know in the comments if you think it makes sense for the Xbox team to support the Mac platform.
