Microsoft and Xbox seem to have a distanced relationship. For example, Microsoft could figure out a way to allow XBox AAA games to run on all Windows 10 machines, while creating an edge over Sony's PS4, but Microsofot has only allowed XBox indie games that are already available on Steam. An XBox-branded phone would have this expectation.
- zamalek 8y agoThis is no longer the case[1]. You can play many, previously console exclusive, titles on Windows (Forza and Gears come to mind) - albiet via the Windows app store. [1]: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-play-anywhere https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-play-anywhere
- bduerst 8y agoThat's what I was referencing to with games that are also available on Steam. Microsoft isn't even attempting to join windows and Xbox, and is only selling games that developers already make available for windows - except as "Xbox play anywhere".
