For years, Xbox users have enjoyed the convenience of the Deezer app, but as of November 26, 2023, Deezer has officially ended support for the Xbox platform. If you're using an Xbox One, Xbox 360 or other console, you may find that you can't find the Deezer app in the Microsoft Store. So, to allay your concerns and help you re-access Deezer on your Xbox, this guide will explain the official reason and show you a 100% working way to listen to Deezer music while gaming on your Xbox One.

Part 1. Why Did Deezer Leave the Xbox Platform?

Deezer has released an official announcement explaining their reasons for discontinuing the Deezer Xbox app. This is a decision that is often made for apps, as developers need to make a choice on which platform to keep Deezer on to provide the best experience for users. If there is too much negative feedback from users and Deezer doesn't want to invest time and money into it, then they will most likely terminate the service.

Another reason why Deezer officials are doing this is to improve the Deezer service, as maintaining the Deezer service on multiple platforms is resource intensive. By ending the Deezer service on Xbox, they can better focus on improving a more stable and feature-rich service for the majority of users on smartphones, desktop apps, web browsers, and other mainstream devices.

Part 2. Can You Still Stream Deezer to Xbox One?

This depends on whether you have the Deezer Xbox app installed and still have it until it is officially removed from Xbox.

  • For new users: The Deezer app has been completely removed from the Microsoft Store on Xbox. It is not possible to search and download it on the Xbox Series X, Series S, or Xbox One console.
  • For Xbox One users who downloaded Deezer before November 26, 2023: If you have previously installed the Deezer for Xbox app, you can continue to use it, but you will not receive any updates or bug fixes. As a result, older versions will have more and more frequent problems, such as login issues, unable to load a song, or unable to play a song.

Part 3. How to Play Deezer on Xbox One

Although the dedicated Deezer app no longer exists, you can still enjoy the Deezer music on your Xbox One. We recommend that you download your Deezer music to your computer and transfer it via USB to your Xbox One. The benefit of this method is that you retain the lossless sound quality of Deezer HiFi and can listen to the music while playing the game without any lags, pauses or loading issues.

Part 4. FAQs about Deezer and Xbox One

Q1. What is the best music app for Xbox now?

A1.The Xbox platform now supports Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, and SoundCloud. Among these, Spotify is probably the most flexible, stable, and versatile music software. You can not only play Spotify music in the background while gaming but also you can use Spotify Connect to control your Xbox's music playback from your smartphone. Other apps such as Apple Music and Pandora also work very well, although they don't perform as well as Spotify in terms of flexibility.

Q2.Does Deezer support FLAC playback on Xbox?

A2.Not directly and natively. Considering that the official Deezer app has gone, it is not possible to access music in Deezer, let alone play FLAC. Therefore, to play Deezer FLAC music on Xbox, ViWizard Deezer Music Downloader provides the best solution as it maintains the original lossless HiFi sound quality of Deezer songs. You only need to export the converted music using USB and play it on Xbox using the Media Player application, and you can hear the sound quality of Deezer FLAC.

Q3.Can I control Deezer playback on Xbox with my phone?

A3.No, it cannot be used directly. Due to the lack of the official Deezer app on Xbox, features such as Deezer Connect or app to console synchronization are not supported. To achieve the best playback experience, downloading Deezer music and playing it via USB is currently the most reliable method.

Q4.Is it legal to download Deezer songs for Xbox use?

A4.It is legal to download Deezer music using tools such as ViWizard Deezer Music Downloader, but only for personal use. You are not allowed to share, distribute, or commercially use downloaded content. The purpose of downloading is to enable offline listening, especially when official applications are unavailable, such as Xbox One. Please always comply with copyright laws and the terms of service of the platform you are using.

Conclusion
