Phil Spencer On Microsoft Games Coming To Steam
Ever since its launch, Steam has become a force to be reckoned with. With a massive inventory of games, and a user base of over 125 million players of which 6-11 million are concurrent, it’s currently the biggest marketplace in Gaming. And making money hand-over-fist for that. It’s only obvious that other major players in the industry will seek to eye the same gaming audience. Other stores like Good Old Games have done rather well in that regard, with Origin following closely. Now Microsoft has started bringing their Xbox One exclusive titles to the Windows 10 PC, which are available through their Windows store. However, the Windows Store is nowhere near attaining the same respect and reputation that Steam has. In fact, it’s hounded by various issues, and hence gamers ten...

Are We Getting Another Xbox Soon?
It has not been much time since we heard about the alleged “PlayStation 4.5” and now we already have indications towards a new Xbox One. The information comes thanks to a NeoGaf member who originally posted this new piece of information hinting towards a new Xbox One Revision. The information states two FCC filings by Microsoft, both filed in March, for wireless radio devices. The filing for part number 1683 appears to have clear ties to the original Xbox One’s WLAN module FCC filing, as both include a 202kB “user manual” PDF with a “1525” model number designation—and in the old filing’s case, that brings up a guide to the Xbox One’s legal warnings. While the other FCC filing for part number 1682 has a few differences, including a lengthier list of...
Halo 5 On The PC May Spell Disaster For The Xbox One
It’s a great that many of the Xbox One exclusives are coming to PC. However, there is one question which still remains in the minds of many. Where is Halo 5? Phil Spencer had an answer to this specific question later during a media Q&A at Microsoft’s Build 2016 conference, attempting to explain why some games will remain exclusive to particular platforms like Xbox One. Spencer stated that “all” Microsoft published games will hit both platforms. Games will release for Xbox or Windows 10 depending on their suitability for either platform. By using RTS, Ashes of The Singularity as an example, Spencer stated that it’s not a great fit for console, even though Xbox One will get mouse and keyboard support during its lifespan. “If I enable keyboard and mouse on a ...
Microsoft Says Xbox One Elite Controller Has “Exceeded Our Planning”
Demand for the $150 Xbox One Elite controller has surpassed Microsoft’s original planning and the company is now “working to get more in stock.” That’s according to Xbox boss Phil Spencer, who talked more about the demand for the sold-out controller in an exchange with fans on Twitter recently. “We are working to get more in stock,” he said to one person. “Sorry they’ve been so hard to find.” Asked by another if they could expect to be able to buy an Elite controller before Christmas (December 25), Spencer wouldn’t say yes or no. “It’s tough, as I don’t want to over-promise,” he explained. “Demand has just exceeded our planning. If you find one and you want it, pick it up, sorry.” The Xbox One E...
Phil Spencer: I Don’t Know If Xbox One Can Beat PS4
Microsoft’s legacy of providing the best game lineup to its customers is growing day-by day. Stepping away from its past failures, Microsoft is doing great now and the company has been trying the best to regain their customers trust. Back in 2013 when Microsoft changed its policies the company has lost most of it. Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft’s Xbox One recently signed up for an interview with Geekwire. Spencer said, “You know, I don’t know. You know, the length of the generation… They [Sony] have a huge lead and they have a good product. I love the content, the games line-up that we have.” when Spencer was asked, “Could Xbox One beat down PS4 sales?” He also stated,”We often work hard to bring up an excellent product, to bring back ...
