Earlier this month, we reported that theWindows 10 Anniversary Updatewould soonbring background music on the Xbox One. As the feature had been previously implemented on the Xbox 360, background music has been one of the most asked features on the next generation gaming console, to say the least.

According to a new report fromWindows Central, Microsoft is currently teasing a “new app experience” on the Groove Music app on the Xbox One that will include background music playback. Twitter user Christian Schröer shared a picture of the announcement yesterday:
