The Xbox app is a cross-platform application that bridges the gap between the Xbox One console and Windows 10. Not only does it allow users to stream games from an Xbox One console to Windows 10 devices connected to the same WiFi network, but it also allows them to play cross-platform online multiplayer games.
Multiplayer games are best enjoyed when played with friends. To help you in your matchmaking, you can configure the Xbox app to display a notification each time one of your favorite friends comes online.
