Xbox App coming to Windows 10

Game streaming, DVR, and full profile functionality

Posted on

At the Windows 10 media briefing today, Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox at Microsoft, shared the company’s vision for gaming on Windows 10 and Xbox One.

Whether you only game on the PC, the console or both, the new Xbox app is built into Windows 10 that brings together the most important aspects of your gaming life: Games, Friends, Messages, Activity Feed, your gaming legacy with Achievements, and much more.

Xbox App for Windows 10

Xbox Live aims to bring multiplayer gaming on Windows 10 against players on an Xbox One, and messaging and chat with friends. And developers will get full access to the Xbox Live API, making it easier to create more powerful gaming scenarios across devices.

Games on Xbox One can be streamed through your home network to your Windows 10 PC or tablet, anywhere in your house. Xbox One gamers will now be able to play many of their favorite console games using their PC. A new game DVR feature of Windows 10, accessible by simply pressing Windows+G, allows you to record your gameplay. Whether on Xbox Live, Steam, or other services, you can record, edit, and share game clips with all your social networks.

Finally, games authored or updated for DirectX 12 are able to run faster and have richer visuals. And this technology is already in the hands of developers today. The engines used to power hundreds of games are implementing DirectX 12, including Unreal Engine 4 from Epic and now Unity.

While Xbox is coming to Windows, Windows 10 is also coming to Xbox One. Later this year an update to Xbox One will enable seamless interaction with PC gamers and to give developers who want to extend their applications to the television an easy path to do so.

More news about what Windows 10 means to Xbox One can be expected at Game Developers Conference in March.
