The Windows 10 Video 360 app is expected to get an update sometime this week that will bring it to Xbox One consoles according to a tweet from one of its developers. “May the #XboxOne could have a 360 degrees player in few days ? ? Video360 app on the road!” the tweet which was posted earlier today reads.

No more information is given but it’s expected that this will simply be an update to the app’s Universal Windows Platform app coding that will add support for the Xbox One in addition to the existing support for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile devices. Here’s the official app description:

Video 360 is the first mediaplayer 360° on Windows Store. The 3D Virtual Reality Headsets are supported (such as Oculus Rift, Google Cardboard etc.) Try this amazing experience to control the camera angle : a total immersion. Use this media player with Tubecast to enjoy Youtube videos 360 degrees (4K supported). Move the camera angle with Device sensors (Gyrometer, Accelerometer etc.), your fingers, keyboard, mouse, and XBOX Gamepad.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
