Microsoft is always keen to experiment with various things, and their latest research is regarding the integration of Android and iOS games to their gaming service called Xbox Live. Xbox is a series of gaming consoles released by Microsoft that compete with the Sony’s PlayStation devices. Previously, Microsoft used the Xbox Live only in the Microsoft consoles and Windows phone and was mainly employed by the users for managing friends list, achievements, and for playing games. As a new experiment, the tech giant is planning to make the Xbox Live compatible with other competitors like Apple and Android.
According to the reports coming from the various sources like The Verge, it is clear that the tech giant is seriously making plans to extend the compatibility of the Xbox Live service to other platforms. Experts assume that this may be due to the fact that the number of gamers in Android and iOS devices is increasing quite speedily than in the Xbox devices. Thus, the main intention behind this decision is to attract more users and thereby boost their popularity and revenue.
The move was first reported in the Microsoft job posting site, which reads: “We will create a modern framework that is open-source, lightweight, extensible and scalable across various platforms including Windows Store, Windows Phone, iOS, and Android.” By making Xbox Live to integrate in to various apps and games, Microsoft is really trying hard to regain their game developers from its competitors like Apple and Google. As of now, a certification and permission from Microsoft is needed to access Xbox Live, but soon, there will be fewer restrictions and more tools for the game developers to work with.
It is clearly understood that when Xbox Live is incorporated in all the latest platforms, it will help game developers to come up with more games for Xbox Live irrespective of the platform in which they have been developed. Windows Live technical support team revealed that this is why they are planning to hire new developers for building the platform.
Even though Google has its own game service just like that of Apple’s, it intends to create a cross platform game service that will help the gamers across multiple platforms to find friends, to do cross platform gaming and to earn achievements. This means that the competition will be tight. For more news and information regarding this, contact Windows Live technical support team right away.
