Plex arrives on Xbox One and 360, brings your media with it

Retrieving media from a computer or home server and reproducing it in your home theater has become a growing need among people. Plex offers what is, perhaps, the simplest solution for accomplishing this task. It does so by simply working across almost every known platform, including mobile devices and set-top boxes.

One place where the end-user app has been surprisingly missing is Microsoft's gaming consoles. You'd think Plex would have arrived there long ago -- certainly before places like Roku and Fire TV. Well, that problem is now solved, or at least half of it is.

Today Plex announces that it is now offering its app on Xbox One. As for 360 users, you'll have to wait a bit, but it should be too long.

"Each of these apps has been crafted to feel right at home on the Xbox, complete with voice and gesture control, and you are going to love them. They’ll be available for free for Plex Pass members on Tuesday Oct 7th for the Xbox One, and shortly after that for the Xbox 360", the company states.

No specific date is given for Xbox 360, but "imminent" seems implied. This good news for those using the consoles for more than just games -- which may include a growing number of users.
