Recently, the leader of the Xbox Game Studios division, Matt Booty, announced through the website Axios that Microsoft will no longer produce first-party games for the Xbox One console.
This decision aims to redirect the company’s resources and efforts towards the latest consoles, such as the Xbox Series S/X.
Microsoft aims to provide gamers with more immersive experiences, with improved graphics, faster loading times, and next-generation features.
While this decision may generate dissatisfaction among Xbox One users, it is important to note that the company will continue to offer support and updates for games already available on the console. This includes popular titles such as “Minecraft“.
This means Xbox One owners can continue to enjoy their favorite experiences and receive updates that can improve gameplay and fix issues.
Players on the previous-generation console will also be able to access new games through Xbox Cloud Gaming, Microsoft’s game streaming service, as well as take advantage of the Game Pass library, which offers a wide variety of games available through a paid subscription.
These options allow Xbox One users to have access to a variety of games, even as Microsoft shifts its focus to newer consoles.
Read an excerpt from Matt Booty’s statement in the interview:
“No internal teams are working on games for the older consoles, except to support ongoing games like Minecraft.
This transition was expected, but it came later in this cycle as Microsoft and its competitor Sony extended support for their older devices and the more than 100 million people who own them.”
Users unhappy with Xbox Series S
With this decision, the company should remain even more focused on carrying out some updates within the Xbox Series S console, which has recently been highlighted due to some user dissatisfaction.
It is worth remembering that the creation of the Xbox One was aimed at competing with other major consoles, such as the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch.
