Xbox’s Best and Only Move Left Is to Become a PC
In a bold move, Microsoft has announced its plans to revolutionize the gaming landscape by essentially becoming a PC. According to Xbox President Sarah Bond, the company is working on a sequel to the Xbox Series X console, but that’s not all – a whole extended “family” of devices bearing the Xbox name is currently in the works.
This sudden shift in strategy may be a desperate attempt by Microsoft to stay relevant in today’s shifting games market. The announcement implied more than just new hardware; it hinted at a broader transformation of the company’s entire brand identity.
What does this mean for gamers? It seems that Microsoft is willing to abandon its console-only approach and join forces with other gaming platforms, allowing users to play their Steam library on Xbox devices. This move would not only help increase compatibility but also create an open environment where players can access a wider range of games.
It’s worth noting that the new consoles will include processors designed by AMD, which isn’t entirely surprising given the current situation. Microsoft has been focusing on building Game Pass up and positioning itself as the Netflix of video games. This strategy seemed to have put too much emphasis on getting Call of Duty onto its subscription service. The company also allowed several exclusive titles to be released on other platforms like PlayStation 5, including Forza Horizon 5 and upcoming titles.
This new development suggests that Xbox’s next generation of consoles will be more open than ever before, with the aim of providing a seamless gaming experience across all devices bearing the Xbox logo.
