Spotify On Xbox One Means The Death Of Groove Music


Back it up boys and girls.

Microsoft is migrating all Groove Music Pass subscribers to Spotify before killing off the streaming service on December 31.

In a post to its support page, Microsoft revealed it would be following suit with Sony and getting out of the music streaming game in favour of partnering with industry monolith, Spotify.

The Groove Music Pass service will be ending on December 31st and all streaming, explore playlists and anything that a user owns and hasn’t downloaded, will not be available from that date onward. The app will however continue to function as a music player, so any (owned) music that is downloaded to a device or uploaded to OneDrive will work as normal. If you’ve got music that you actually purchased on the service, now is the time to download it.

Collections themselves, as well as playlists can be migrated to Spotify after an update to the Groove app, coming in the next week or so. Groove Music users will have until, “at least Jan 31st 2018,” to complete this migration. However, this migration does not include any existing Groove Music Pass subscriptions, so Microsoft are throwing in 60 free days of Spotify Premium to eligible users. Those who subscribed past December 31st will be issued refunds or store credit (depending on how they have purchased).
