A New Xbox Experience<\/h2>\n
Everything indicates that Xbox’s next step will be to leave behind the limits that always separated \u00a0consoles\u00a0 from the \u00a0PC\u00a0. The above media points out that the next generation will be built on a \u00a0Windows\u00a0 base, with an interface designed for the \u00a0living room\u00a0, but with the freedom of being able to jump to the desktop whenever players want. The idea is simple but ambitious: a machine that turns on like a console, feels like a console, but can behave like a full computer if the player desires.<\/p>\n
Guided by Leadership<\/h2>\n
The clues are not few. \u00a0Phil Spencer\u00a0, head of Xbox, had already anticipated a long time ago that the future of Xbox would involve \u00a0more open experiences\u00a0, and in his last speech, he insisted on it again. He said that those who want to envision what the next generation will be like need only look at the \u00a0Xbox Ally\u00a0. For her part, Sarah Bond, president of the division, confirmed that they are already working on the new hardware with AMD<\/a>. \u201cWe are totally focused on creating products for the future,\u201d she assured.<\/p>\n On a practical level, the \u00a0ASUS ROG Ally\u00a0\u2014and its upgraded version, the Ally X\u2014represent the best experiment yet in the future Microsoft imagines. Both devices run \u00a0Windows\u00a0 and allow users to utilize launchers like \u00a0Steam\u00a0 or \u00a0Epic\u00a0, offering almost total freedom. However, they still do not achieve the essential thing: \u00a0natively accessing the Xbox catalog\u00a0. This limitation serves to explain why the company seeks further innovations, aiming for a console that unites both worlds without the player feeling like they are giving up anything.<\/p>\n According to consulted sources, Microsoft would be preparing a historic change: eliminating payment for \u00a0multiplayer\u00a0 on its next console. The reasoning is simple. If the new hardware will behave like a PC, it would make little sense to charge for a service that is free on other platforms. In that more open model, players could choose where and how to play without feeling obligated to pay to connect with others.<\/p>\n One of the significant attractions of this new stage will be the ability to play nearly everything. According to \u00a0Windows Central\u00a0, Microsoft plans for the next Xbox to support the entire \u00a0Series X|S\u00a0 library, in addition to offering access to backward-compatible titles from previous generations. Furthermore, it will also allow access to \u00a0PC games\u00a0 through platforms like Steam or Epic. A system that promises to erase the borders between generations and formats.<\/p>\n The \u00a0theory\u00a0 is brilliant, but we’ll have to wait to see how it will translate into practical execution. On the ROG Ally, the experience between the Xbox layer and the \u00a0Windows\u00a0 environment is not always seamless. \u00a0Windows Central\u00a0 notes that Microsoft is aware of these challenges and is diligently working on the next console to eliminate those frictions. If they succeed, the leap could be as substantial as promised.<\/p>\n Everything indicates that Microsoft is willing to \u00a0rewrite\u00a0 what we understand by a console. If it can integrate the \u00a0openness\u00a0 of the PC with the simplicity of the Xbox, it could mark a turning point in its history. However, questions still linger: what will be the price, the release calendar, and most importantly, how will players respond? After a quarter of a century, Xbox seems poised to \u00a0reinvent itself\u00a0, and this time, the leap promises to be as risky as it is necessary.<\/p>\n Images | Microsoft<\/p>\n In Xataka: The new record of 40,000 games purchased by a Chinese player on Steam blurs the line between collecting and obsession.<\/p>\nExploring Practical Innovations<\/h2>\n
