It’s confirmed: the next xbox will be a Windows PC box. It sounds very interesting that this will also be backwards compatible with Xbox games, including 360/One/Series games. I wonder if it’s just emulation, and how well that will work

    So Steam but for Microsoft games only…

    And ran by a way less reputable company.

    Hopefully, they throw in some more incentives because an identical service to Steam is still going to be inferior because it’s controlled by Microsoft instead of Valve

        The ability to miss games has been there for years, you could go to the game in the Xbox app and open the modifiable app data folder. The problem with this is that, developers can choose not to expose that capability on a per game basis.

        Still there’s ways aroused it at least but it certainly not as straightforward.
