At Microsoft’s Windows Developer Day for the Creators Update today, the company announced that Kodi will be converting to a full UWP app, which will be available on the Xbox One.
If you’ve been using Microsoft’s gaming consoles for long enough, then you’ll remember the Xbox Media Center, also known as XBMC. Over time, XBMC was ported to other platforms , stopped being supported on Xbox, and became Kodi.
While Kodi is a Win32 app for the Windows platform, it made its way to the Store by means of the Desktop App Converter, also known as Project Centennial. Of course, this limited its distribution to Windows 10 PCs.
Today, at Microsoft’s Windows Developer Day event for the Creators Update, the company announced that the developers of Kodi have been so pleased with the Windows Store that they will be converting it to a full UWP app.
