Ouya gets official XBMC support

The Xbox Media Center team confirms the partnership



Ouya, the upcoming Android console will count with an official build of the popular XBMC

The Ouya Kickstarter Update 11 has revealed something very interesting for the future Ouya users. The popular Xbox Media Center will be on the platform with an official build.

Here is what the team behind said:

Maybe it was inevitable. Maybe it was because of the hundreds, if not thousands, of demands on Twitter, in blogs, on Facebook, in Reddit, and in Kickstarter comments. Maybe it's because many of Team OUYA support XBMC, and nearly a third of Team XBMC members are OUYA backers.

Regardless, we are delighted to announce that XBMC will be working with OUYA to ensure that XBMC works well on the OUYA platform. OUYA's Android underpinnings and XBMC's work on Android (soon to be merged into master, pending final sign-offs!) will dramatically speed up that effort, as will early XBMC dev access to OUYA prototypes.

The conversation between our two teams is young, but talk is ongoing and positive. We look forward to providing more exciting news on this front as it develops.
