A new update for the Pandora Xbox One app will unlock background music support, giving users yet another option to listen to music while they play games or use other apps.
Xbox engineering lead Mike Ybarra said the update for the music-streaming service’s app that introduces this functionality will be released “over the next 24 hours.” His message was posted around 7 PM last night.

The Xbox One update that came out in early August unlocked background music support. However, at the start, this was only possible through apps made by other developers, not Microsoft itself or even big-name music-streaming companies. The Xbox One app for Microsoft’s Groove Music service was updated earlier this month to feature background music support.
