We recently published in El Español – Android Free An analysis of the ROG Ally X, which is possibly the best video game console based on Windows 11 in the market. But the main problem we found was precisely Windows 11; The operating system is not prepared at all for gaming experience, but fortunately, that can change soon.
Everything indicates that Microsoft is preparing A revolution in its Xbox brandwith the aim of making the concept of “everything is an Xbox” that began last year; The idea is that we can enjoy the same experience and the same games regardless of the device we use, be it a desktop console, a portable console, a computer, or a smartphone.
As part of this change, Microsoft is developing a New Xbox interfacewhich will be used in all devices compatible with the platform; And in addition to unifying the experience, it will also improve it with additions that may have been implemented for a long time. The new interface has been filtered, curiously, by Microsoft itself; in The Verge They were the first to realize that the company had published the presentation image ahead of time, and could obtain a copy before it was deleted.
The image confirms the new Xbox strategy, with the motto “Opening one billion doors with Xbox”referring to the fact that it is no longer necessary to buy a console to get on the platform. Reinforcing this idea, in the image several devices appear, including an Xbox Series S, an Xbox Series X, the aforementioned Rog Ally X console, a television, a laptop (which curiously looks like a MacBook), a tablet and a smartphone.
The free android
All these devices They use the same Xbox interface To access their games, although obviously, that does not mean that they will be able to execute them all; The Xbox cloud platform will gain more importance, since it allows to play Xbox titles on devices that do not have the necessary ‘hardware, such as televisions or smartphones.
A very interesting detail of the new interface is that it will not be exclusive for Xbox games, but will allow Steam and other platform games to run. In the image, it can be seen that it is possible to select among the installed games, which we have in property, those that are in Game Pass, and those in Steam. In addition, the Epic Games Store and other platforms are also expected to also be accessible from the Xbox app. In this way, players will not have to change app to play their games, regardless of the platform they prefer.
