Microsoft Studios VD Phil Spencer har uttalat sig om att Microsoft tappade greppet om spel till Windows, och lovar att man ska bättra sig på den punkten. I samtal med Shacknews berättade han att företaget har mer spel planerade till Windows än man haft på tio år.
"Windows is incredibly important. The ‘One Microsoft' mantra that's come out had us looking at all the devices that Microsoft builds and truly becoming a first-party gaming studio across all devices. You'll see us doing more stuff on Windows."
"At the launch of Windows 8, we had about 30 games in the Windows Store. A lot of those you'd consider lightweight or casual games... But we've covered all of that property now. Now we're starting to look at bigger and core gamer things. I'm excited by that."
Spencer pratade därefter om vikten av enkel tillgång till Microsofts tjänster på flera enheter.
"For us, we're first-party across all Microsoft devices. We definitely think about ourselves that way in our studios. If you think about a service like Spotify or Netflix, you expect that service to work on any device you have. For some games, it will be similar."
"I just want to have an Xbox Live account and it works on my phone, on my console, and my Windows machine. And then I'll be able to access my content in a screen-appropriate way."
