Why Should You Watch Paramount Plus on Xbox?

Some of our readers may wonder if Paramount Plus is worth it. Others may wonder if they should opt for a streaming device instead. Fortunately, we’re experts on both devices and are happy to give you all the details regarding Paramount Plus and Xbox.

Why Paramount Plus on an Xbox

There are a few benefits and drawbacks to watching Paramount Plus on your Xbox. If you have an Xbox and nothing else, it’s a great way to save time and money by using what you have available. The interface and features are the same on any device, so you aren’t losing anything by going this route.

However, an issue does arise with the remote. Those of us who play Xbox frequently won’t mind this, but our readers who aren’t familiar with the buttons and functions on an Xbox controller may have some difficulty. Whereas a standard TV, Roku, or Firestick remote is pretty simple, the Xbox controller complicates things. Furthermore, Xbox controllers need batteries and charging far more often than standard remotes.

Why Paramount Plus Is Worth It

Paramount Plus is an excellent streaming service. It’s cheaper than other options like Netflix and Hulu, but it still has a lot of great content. You can watch new movies, old movies, reality TV, documentaries, and kids’ shows.

Moreover, Paramount has a lot of exclusive content you can’t get anywhere else. There are even bundle options with exciting services like Showtime and ESPN. Ultimately, Paramount Plus is one of our most-watched streaming services because it has something to offer everyone with a small price tag.

Wrapping Up

Assuming all you have is an Xbox and you want to see some of the best content on television, we’ll rate this option ten out of ten. It’s easy to install and log in. Once you’re in, you can stream all sorts of excellent movies, shows, and documentaries. However, not everyone will love the clunkiness of using an Xbox controller to navigate the platform. Of course, it’s the best route if it’s all you have.
