The Xbox Series S and Series X are just over a week away from release, but that doesn't mean there isn't still stuff to learn. On Monday, Microsoft detailed some of the entertainment apps coming to its next-generation systems, including announcing that Apple TV will be available on launch day. 

Apple's streaming app -- which will allow users to watch Apple TV Plus originals, content purchased from iTunes as well as Apple TV Channels like Showtime and CBS All Access -- will also be available on Nov. 10 on the Xbox One. The next-generation Xboxes will be released on Nov. 10. 

Joining Apple TV on the Xbox Series S and Series X are streaming staples Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video , Hulu, Spotify and YouTube. Recent streaming services like HBO Max and Peacock will also be available on launch day, as will YouTube TV , Vudu and Twitch. 

Netflix, Disney Plus and Vudu will be able to stream on the new Xboxes in Dolby Vision and with Dolby Atmos assuming you have a compatible TV and speaker system.

Sony recently announced that Apple TV would be coming to its PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, including being available for the next-generation system in time for its launch on Nov. 12. It remains unclear, however, if the PS5 will have an HBO Max app available in time for its launch.
