The Redmond-based software maker Microsoft announced several improvements for the Xbox entertainment apps available in Windows 8.1 Preview, but it appears that even more enhancements will be introduced in the RTM version.

The company has confirmed the news in a blog post, but it provided no clear specifics on the updates. In addition, Microsoft will also roll out a new Xbox SmartGlass app specifically aimed at Xbox One buyers.

“Later this year, be sure to check out the full launch of Windows 8.1 that will offer even more updates for Xbox Music and Xbox Video.

According to previous reports, Windows 8.1 is set to hit RTM in August, while general availability is expected to be announced in October.
