Continuing to expand their line of home entertainment apps for the Xbox One, Microsoft have announced that Pandora Internet Radio is supported by their current generation console and is now available for everyone to download.
This app features a customized HTML-5 based Pandora for TV interface, which they hope will make it a source for users to effortlessly look for music. For those without a controller in their hand for whatever reason, it will also be possible to interact with Pandora Internet Radio through Kinect Gestures and Voice Commands. Those looking to game while listening to their favourite radio can also snap Pandora to the screen in order to listen and game simultaneously.

At Xbox we’re committed to our vision of bringing the best entertainment features to the Xbox One. We’re excited to add Pandora Internet Radio to the platform, a service dedicated to music discovery, giving our fans more choice than ever when it comes to streaming and discovering new music they love, in addition to watching and playing their favourite shows, movies and games.
Rick Gleave | Director of Business Development at Pandora ANZ
At Pandora our main aim is to provide audiences with the music they love, anytime, anywhere. Pandora’s latest integration on Xbox One devices highlights how interconnected our home and lives have become.
With that said, gamers on Xbox One not only can continue to engage in a pastime they enjoy, but now thanks to the partnership with Pandora Internet Radio, users will have the ability to discover new music as well as curate their own personalised soundtrack on their gaming console, e.g. listen to ‘The Raconteurs – Salute Your Solution’ station whilst playing Call of Duty.
