The Xbox One version on the other hand will be coming out this summer’s once the store opens up, but anyone who is exhausting their console as a development box can try it out as early as next week. Hooray!
In my opinion this a move in a great direction, while it may not be totally gaming related, but still as I said good move nonetheless. So you have my thumbs up Microsoft (not that my approval really matters to them) but still.
