Is the border between the game on PC and Xbox broken? That is what the latest Build released in Windows 10 suggests
While we prepare for the arrival of Windows 10 April 2019 Update and in the absence of updates in the Slow Ring in the Insider Program, there are more than interesting news that are coming to blur a little more if possible, the border between Xbox and PC when playing.
The line became somewhat more blurred when Microsoft introduced Xbox Play Anywhere, a system whereby having a digital game from Xbox Play Anywhere can be enjoyed on both an Xbox One console and a computer with Windows 10.Now, in the latest Beta a new addition has been discovered that further blurs the line between the two worlds.
As they say in ArsTechnica, the latest Windows 10 update released by Microsoft within the Insider Program has had a new addition. A copy of the game State of Decay that has been sent to a small number of testers who have been asked to see how the game performs under that build of Windows 10
The striking thing about this request is that access to the game was done through the Xbox Store and that in its code, in which they dared to poke around given the striking nature of the request, they found another surprise: a new API under the name Durango, the development name given to the Xbox One.
In this regard, it should be noted that with the first point, Microsoft would hint that it could be working on a system whereby both platforms for the distribution of would be integrated into a single games.
But above all, the new API is striking; in the code there were .xvc files linked to Xbox and the mentioned need to install the API, which was related to DirectX. The goal of it was to make a Windows 10 PC run an Xbox One game
These two pieces of information suggest that Redmond could be thinking of unifying the Xbox platform and the PC platform That the same title be could play on both systems (as long as the machine offered the minimum requirements, of course) which would end the exclusivities.
We will have to keep an eye on Microsoft's next moves We have recently seen how they plan to bring the Xbox Game Pass service to Nintendo Switch and there are even rumors about a possible arrival on PlayStation.Would this be the third step to further grow your leisure platform?
