To make it easier to listen to Spotify playlists, you can use the Xbox Gamebar and its Spotify widget to control your music playback without ever leaving your game.

Before you get started, you will need to download and install the Spotify desktop app or the Windows 10 Spotify app.

To control Spotify while in a game, you need to click on the Widgets menu, as shown by the red arrow, and then select the Spotify widget.

If this is the first time you open the Spotify widget, you will be asked to log in and link the Xbox Gamebar with Spotify so that you can control the app using the in-game overlay.

Once you link your Spotify account, you will now be able to control Spotify, pause and play music, and select songs directly from within the game.

Your Spotify music will now play in the background while you are playing the game.
