Kodi fans who have the Xbox One console can now enjoy both on one platform as Microsoft has finally provided support for the media streaming platform on its gaming console. The support includes all add-ons and features available on other devices.
Despite the availability of several features, the Kodi team has clarified that some features could be limited, like network support. This is because Kodi is a UWP (Universal Windows Platform) app, which is regulated by Microsoft.
