Five new media apps have launched on the Xbox One this week. Gamers who own the Microsoft gaming system can now download Vevo, Telemundo Now, Pandora, Bravo Now and Popcornflix apps.

"From the beginning, our vision for Xbox One has included offering gamers the ability to play the best games and seamlessly switch to the apps, movies and TV shows they love," the company wrote on its blog Dec. 18.

Here is the Xbox One app lineup and availability by country:

Pandora

Pandora for Xbox One is available to Xbox Live members in in the U.S. Enter the name your favorite artists, songs, genres or composers and create personalized stations that play only music you'll love.

"[The Internet radio service app] takes advantage of all the functionality the platform has to offer, and our team built the application to look amazing on the biggest screen in your home," Pandora wrote in a blog post.

Best of all, the app can play music stations in the background during gameplay-something Xbox music cannot do. It also has built-in voice and gesture controls that will work with Kinect.
