Starting August 19 gamers can combine their reddit experience with the biggest screen in their home: thanks to Xbox One, while they game. They can also browse the first-ever reddit app for the TV. ReddX on Xbox One can be Snapped to the side of the TV while gaming or using another app to help monitor and join in threads on the site while doing anything else. Thanks to ReddX, redditors can interact with each other in similar ways to the reddit.com experience, and in addition unlock unique media achievements named after some of the Internet’s favorite memes.
ReddX on Xbox One lets Xbox Live members in the U.S. and Canada check out every subreddit in addition to a customized main page. You can read text and view images, videos and GIFs on your TV and can even zoom in or out of text and images for a closer look.
Using ReddX also allows fans to upvote or downvote a thread with just the touch of a button, as well as easily add comments using the Xbox One controller, media remote or Xbox SmartGlass on a smartphone, tablet or laptop. If fans find an image that’s just too good to pass over, ReddX lets them save a photo to their profile or set any image as the background for their ReddX app.
