Paramount has recently announced a new partnership with Microsoft to distribute its wide selection of movies with the launch of a new app.
The Paramount Movies app lets Xbox 360 owners and Live Gold subscribers to stream both bought or rented movies in standard or high definition on their gaming consoles.
Earlier this year already, Paramount began offering digital downloads for consumers to buy through its website with UltraViolet for PC and iOS. UltraViolet lets users download the movies and keep a copy in the cloud.
However, with the new app, consumers can now access movies and watch them in a way that doesn’t limit them to their computer screens with the app making it much easier for consumers to watch movies from their tv sets.
In order to access the app, users will need to set up Paramount and UltraViolet accounts and have an Xbox Live Gold membership. Content is then accessed from the Paramount website, rather then through the app itself.
