Neat that they're moving existing subs to Spotify, they didn't have to do that.

Can't say I'm surprised though, me and many others only use the Groove app to play our own music in the background on Xbox via OneDrive. There's even an option in the settings to turn off anything related to the Music Pass, so eventually you forget it exists and suddenly the app is just like any other music player.

Is Forza getting patched to use Spotify in game or are they just going to axe custom radio in Microsoft games.

Horizon lets me use my OneDrive music, you just have to create a playlist. And Afaik Forza was the only game to get Groove radio because the background music feature launched not long after.

That's a shame. It was pretty nice for PC not having to tab out to change songs in a different program.
