Microsoft planning to unify PC and Xbox

Microsoft wants to change that to make consoles compatible with all games, like a PC.

More unified backwards compatibility is happening on Xbox One. Consoles are notable for their relative simplicity and you don't have to worry about cracking the case open to ensure that you have enough juice to run the newest game release.

In an interview with GameSpot, the Head of Xbox touched base on the embryonic nature of VR in general, before outlining the ways in which Microsoft's strategy differs from that of Sony's. The announcement concerning the arrival of the new game was made by Microsoft recently and as expected, it was met with a lot of enthusiasm from gamers.

Meanwhile, demonstrators clashed with right wing student activists in the southern city of Hyderabad. We are protesting against the anti-national activities.

The first few steps of this singularity are already appearing, with the integration of Xbox as a brand into Windows 10 as an operating system. These add-ons would, in theory, allow Xbox One owners to add more horsepower to their Xbox One console at regular intervals.

With some major Xbox One titles coming to PC, such as Killer Instinct and Quantum Break, Phil Spencer's recent statements aren't exactly surprising.

"PC gaming is as important as it's ever been in the company", he insisted, in the same breath as reiterating that Microsoft will continue not formally announcing Xbox One sales figures since its launch.

Pellegrini is set to exit as City manager at the end of this season, making way for Pep Guardiola, who's now with Bayern Munich. We can say all of these things, but you know you can fall down and then you have to stand up.

Speaking at a media event in San Francisco last week, as reported by The Guardian, Xbox chief, Phil Spencer, told onlookers that the company was now focused on "building out a complete gaming ecosystem for Universal Windows Applications".

According to Lamborghini, the Centenario uses a V12 architecture, and "the Centenario's naturally aspirated engine produces 770 hp and powers from 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, and from 0-300 km/h in 23.5 seconds with a top speed of more than 350 km/h". Microsoft is in a unique position due to their ownership of the Windows platform, meaning Xbox games should effectively play on both PC and increasingly powerful Xbox One devices.

This could be a radical departure from what we've known about how consoles are released to the public. The best part? Apex will be free to play on the PC. "Because when I hear "unify" I worry a bit that people will interpret, my own teams included, 'Hey, we just want to say a game is a game and all games should run everywhere'".
