BBC iPlayer arrives on Xbox One

At long last, the BBC has released an iPlayer app for the Xbox One. It's been over a year since the console debuted in the UK, and finally it's able to make good on its promise of becoming the all-in-one media hub. It makes use of the BBC's new unified iPlayer design, although the broadcaster says the app has been upscaled for 1080p displays and refined to support the new Kinect's voice commands. To coincide with its release, the BBC has also begun extending iPlayer's new 30-day catch-up period. The feature is already available in the iPlayer apps for Xbox One and Android, and is likely to roll out to other devices over the next week. If you own an Xbox 360, however, the BBC says it'll be adding 30 day catch-up and Radio 1 content in a new update coming early next year.
