Microsoft renames Xbox Music to Groove

Microsoft has changed the name of Xbox Music and Xbox Video.

Xbox Music has been renamed to Groove, and Xbox Video is now called Movies & TV. Both apps have had their names changed ahead of their Windows 10 launch.

Groove will not bring back the cancelled free, ad-supported version of the app. It will simply change the app's current name and keep the $9.99 monthly subscription as the only option to access the service.

Xbox One, which is set to get a major UI overhaul in the fall, will undoubtedly follow suit.

As for Movies & TV, the new destination consolidates all previous Xbox Video content into one place.

You can learn more about each of those changes through the Windows blog.
