Watch Sharknado 2 on Xbox One With Syfy NOW App

You can now watch Sharknado 2: The Second One, Burn Notice, and other Syfy channel and USA Network content on your Xbox One with the Syfy NOW and USA NOW apps, parent company NBCUniversal has announced.

Xbox One owners who subscribe to one of the supported cable providers will be able to choose from a selection of movies and full episodes of shows, including Defiance, which is based on the free-to-play shooter MMO. The Syfy Now app also offers hundreds of clips including last week’s Defiance panel at San Diego Comic-Con and behind the scenes looks at shows like Dominion.

The apps are part NBCUniversal’s TV Everywhere initiative, which aims to give consumers access to its content on more platforms, including consoles, desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

Microsoft said that Xbox One will also get apps for HBO Go, Showtime Anytime, and many others by the end of 2014. If you want to know what to expect, check out our full list of apps coming to Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
