The Xbox manager thinks streaming is a technology that is convenient when you don't have access to your consoles and want to play.
In the maelstrom of services that are to come (or that are already here, in the case of Google Stadia), streaming is one of the tools that is considered future. The Xbox division itself prepares Project xCloud, technology with which it intends to take Xbox games to mobile phones and other devices, through the network. However, Phil Spencer, head of the videogames division, has shared his opinion on this in an interview with GameInformer. He has determined that the best way to play is to do it locally.
"The best fora is to play locally," said the manager. I will say it flatly: streaming is a technology of convenience, it is a technology that you choose when you are away from your console and want to play. ” It is not the first time that those of Redmond, who work on their next-generation console, Xbox Series X, have said that their physical platforms will remain very important.
Attention for the services
The services that have been built around the Xbox brand will continue to have a strong presence in the new generation. This is the case of Xbox Game Pass, which gives access to a huge catalog of video games. To enjoy them, just subscribe through the console or PC. It should be noted that both catalogs are different, especially in the case of third party titles. Of course, the products developed by Xbox Game Studios are available from the first day of service.
With regard to the new console, perhaps we should speak in the plural. This is how Microsoft has confirmed that the machine is called Xbox dry. The “Series X” cardlet is just the model name. The company itself has explained that this decision opens the door to the possibility that new machine models will be produced in the future.
