Fans of the DC Universe streaming service will have another way to watch their favorite original series and read the publisher's comics. Starting today, the DC Universe streaming service will be available to download on Xbox One consoles. The announcement comes just in time for the latest DC Comics animated film, Justice League vs The Fatal Five releases on April 16.
"Since we launched DC Universe last fall we've been on a mission to expand our reach on new platforms. Fans asked for access to the ultimate DC membership on their Xbox One consoles and we are excited to deliver DC Universe to them starting next week. Our growing list of highly acclaimed original series, amazing library shows and thousands of comics are now accessible to DC fans and Xbox users alike," said Sam Ades, senior vice president and general manager, DC Digital Services in a press release.
How to Access DC Universe on Xbox One
Similar to other streaming services like Netflix, DC Universe subscribers can log in with the same information that they use to access the service on mobile devices and smart TVapps. To download the DC Universe app on Xbox One, simply go to the Windows Store and search for DC Universe. If it's available in your area, it will appear to download for free.
