Xbox Video: watch TV shows and movies on Windows Phone 8

Today, Xbox Video goes mobile and is available to download on your Windows Phone 8 smartphone.

With Xbox Video loaded onto your Nokia Lumia, you’ve got access to all the latest blockbuster movies and TV shows when you’re out and about.

Anything you purchase through Xbox Video can be streamed or downloaded to your device, which is ideal if you want to watch something later where there’s no data connection.

This means you can watch Despicable Me 2 on the bus, Fast & Furious 6 on the treadmill, or season after season of How I Met Your Mother while you’re onboard a plane destined for some festive family fun this holiday.

Purchases made from Xbox Video aren’t just limited to one device. The movies or TV episodes you purchase can be enjoyed anywhere Xbox Video is available, such as your Nokia Lumia 1020, Nokia Lumia 2520, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Windows 8 tablets and PCs as well as XboxVideo.com.

Having access to the full Xbox Video catalog in your pocket is only possible with a Windows Phone 8 smartphone; Xbox Video isn’t available on any other mobile platform.

Xbox Video is available to download today from Windows Phone Store for free.
