A Time Warner Cable app heads to Xbox 360 this summer that makes 300 premium cable channels available on Microsoft’s game console, the two companies confirm. The app adds more live channels to the console than any other app on the system, including access to channels like AMC, BBC World News, Bravo, Cartoon Network, CNN, Comedy Central, Food Network, HGTV, and more, plus voice controls via Kinect. Like similar Xbox 360 apps, using it requires an Xbox Live Gold subscription.

“TWC TV is a significant addition to Xbox 360, bringing our customers their favorite entertainment in one place,” said Microsoft Media & Entertainment Group Corporate Vice President Blair Westlake.

Xbox Live Gold members can log in with their Time Warner Cable credentials directly on their consoles. It sounds intriguing, but the app still requires users to have a cable box, a Time Warner Cable representative confirmed to Digital Trends.

We've all seen the threads from prominent gaming journalists and personalities, as well as developers, about Xbox Game Pass being "the best deal in gaming." And for what it's worth, all of that grandstanding on social media is true. Xbox Game Pass is a pretty incredible deal, one that offers subscribers access to a constantly changing library of games for a decent cost.

While it feels as though the service is everywhere now -- from social media timelines to commercials for games that proudly announce they'll be available the day they launch via Game Pass -- it hasn't met Microsoft's expectations. According to a recent report from Axios, subscriber growth for the service is a whopping 11% below where the company wants it to be.
