Why is the x-box app non-removable?

[Jakob Greve]

Hi there,

The title says it all the X-box icon is green just like the xbox is green.

My non-removable icons are purple I can remove finance green and my Office apps including excel green. To me this is a design inconsistancy I'd also think that more people use Office than X-Box - Glad to be on board Windows 10 mobile - I bought my Lumia 950 XL some months back and it's my first Windows phone.

Send feedback for that. XBox is one of the core unremovable apps.... like Wallet ,e,g,
The color means nothing: Xbox logo is green by Trademark
(an Xbox shows a green light when on)

My Xbox one doesn't nor the other two in our flat, they show a white light.

You can't remove the app, but you can un-pin the icon from the start.

Thanks that pretty much answers my question it is an inconsistancy for W10M and nothing to be done about it. Not that it's any big deal but from a UI/UX point it's not thought through

Xbox's branding has historically been green though.

the almighty god decided you cant remove that app even if you don't ever think about needing it
