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.

Microsoft has backtracked on an announcement that it would raise the price of Xbox Live Gold memberships after an outcry from gamers. Many pointed out that it was tactless to raise prices on gaming when many people are staying at home due to the pandemic and gaming provides a much-needed form of safe entertainment.

In a blog post first posted on Friday, January 22, Microsoft said it would increase the price of Gold memberships by $1 for one-month memberships and $5 for three-month memberships in the U.S., with equivalent prices hikes in other regions too. That would have raised prices to $11 for one month and $30 for three months. Prices for six-month and 12-month memberships would have remained unchanged.
