How to Play Audible on Xbox One

If you’re a regular Audible listener, you surely want to get Audible when you’re doing something easy like playing a relaxing game.

Is there an Audible app on Xbox One? There must be a way to make it happen. I’d love to listen to Audible books while playing relaxing games like Minecraft for example. If Audible was on my Xbox One I would never turn it off. Cuz I usually use headphones on my Xbox, so it’s a pain if I want to listen to a book and keep the game on low in the background, it’d be better to play it on the console and I’ll shut the game sound down.—Gamer from Reddit
