Microsoft’s Console Games Will Be Compatible With Its New Devices

Microsoft made news in 2015 when it declared that old games published for Xbox 360 consoles would be usable on Xbox One too. They can be run on PCS, since the company seems to be focusing its efforts on that strategy.

At the latest closed-door meeting with journalists, Microsoft Xbox’s representatives said that games published for the present Xbox One will be “forward-suitable” or usable on upcoming hardware. They also said that Microsoft will arrive with new components abilities in the present console generation that might be conducted without invalidating these systems.

Other new inclusions in the Microsoft’s console games collection consist of a free edition of Forza Motorsport series for PCs running on Windows 10. Along with it there is Motorsport: Apex, an edition of Minecraft operating on Oculus Rift or a working trial of Microsoft’s expensive, time-bending FPS title, Quantum Break.

Interestingly, the organization’s officials said that they are less enthusiastic about outselling Sony’s PlayStation than proving that customers come back to Microsoft’s Xbox One every time. The measurement that Microsoft is currently utilizing to evaluate the attraction of the console is a catch for many app: the number of active users per month.

We have to keep in mind that Microsoft’s console games was not the initial purpose of Xbox One. After minutes from its presentation at E3, the fans were offered a slice of TV shows on the console. After other problems encountered down the line, Microsoft quickly backpedaled, so now games apparently represent the only goal of Xbox One.

The company’s new concept is the cross-platform playing, starting different on desktop and completing their missions on Xbox One consoles, or the other way around. An example is its Quantum Break: those who preorder the game will get both the console edition and the copy for Microsoft Windows 10.

Microsoft has not conquered the PC or console game playing yet. They admitted that Microsoft’s Store applications for the Windows 10 platform still does not have the depth of AAA games that players want, even with famous titles like Tomb Raider occupying its web pages.

But the new Tomb Raider comes as a UWP application, the goal of the company’s cross-platform idea. UWAs were initially published for both phones on Windows Mobile and Windows 10 PCs. Now, the software maker has written them in order to work on both consoles and desktop systems. Games have typically been published as Win32 applications, with .EXE information.
