As we’re nearing the release of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update on August 2, Microsoft has been iterating on the Xbox One system software. Several new builds have rolled out to members of the Xbox One Preview program over the last few weeks. Additionally, it looks that developers are also getting ready for the Anniversary Update as some Xbox One apps are now getting the UWP treatment. According to recent tweets from Microsoft’s Brad Rosetti, Xbox One preview members can now try the Hulu and Netflix UWP apps on their Xbox One:

If you have already installed the Hulu and Netflix apps on you’re Xbox One running the latest preview build, both apps should automatically update to the UWP version. Earlier today, we reported that the Xbox One Dailymotion app received a similar treatment, as well as Reddit client Baconit, and it’s great to see that the Windows 10 Store and the Xbox Store are finally merging. If you’re a lucky member of the Xbox One Preview program, give these apps a try and please let us know what you think of them in the comments!
