Known as ReddX, the new app is being touted as being the first ever Reddit app for a TV. Microsoft’s Larry “Major Nelson” Hyrb released a video on Monday that shows fans how the new app will work.
“ReddX on Xbox One can be Snapped to the side of your TV while you’re gaming or using another app to help you monitor and join in threads on the site while you’re doing anything else,” says Major Nelson. “Thanks to ReddX, redditors can interact with each other in similar ways to the reddit.com experience, and in addition unlock unique media achievements named after some of the Internet’s favorite memes.”
That’s right, there will be achievements for the app that are based on memes. Talk about something many never thought we’d see.
The app, which appears to be only available in the United States and Canada, should launch on the Xbox One sometime on Tuesday.

Mike’s Musings: When it comes to apps, the Xbox One continues to be the best console available. Those who prefer to have a console that not only plays games but also acts as an all-in-one entertainment box will love what Microsoft is doing with the Xbox One. You have to wonder if PlayStation 4 owners are wishing their console had more apps.
