"Xbox has changed tack regarding its first-party games over the past 20 months, transitioning, in essence, from a platform holder with exclusive titles to a third-party publisher releasing games across platforms. Since Microsoft announced four of its first-party games for PlayStation and Nintendo in February 2024, several exclusive Xbox titles have launched on PS5. The Xbox parent is bringing some of its biggest franchises like Gears of War"
"A new Windows Central report sheds light on the Windowed future of Xbox, claiming that the next-gen Xbox console will run "full-bore" Windows, with a console-style interface on top optimised for TVs. The same approach is seen in ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X handhelds, which run Windows 11, but boot directly into the new Xbox full-screen experience interface."
The next-generation Xbox will run full Windows with a console-style interface optimized for televisions, allowing users to exit to a full Windows experience. The Windows OS will enable support for rival third-party storefronts such as Steam and Epic Games Store alongside the Microsoft Store. Microsoft has shifted from platform-exclusive releases to publishing first-party games across multiple platforms, releasing several previously exclusive titles on PlayStation and bringing franchises like Gears of War, Forza Horizon, and Halo to Sony's console. The ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X handhelds run Windows 11 and boot into a fullscreen Xbox interface, guiding the home console's design and user testing.
