In addition to moving towards multi-platforms, Xbox is also seeking growth by deepening its integration with PC.The latest rumors show that the integration of these two platforms is no longer at the theoretical level - Steam is about to be launched on the Microsoft Store.
The well-known whistleblower Extas1s claims that Xbox has launched an internal testing plan to introduce Steam to the Microsoft store, and the Epic Games Mall is also in the process of integrating the plan.He stressed that this move will have a profound impact on future ecosystems.
According to the latest internal video disclosure, Microsoft has added a "Steam Developer Beta" to its device support software, which is currently only accessible to specific employees and partners.In other words, Steam or even the Epic Mall will likely be available to be available on the PC Microsoft Store, next-generation Xbox and handheld devices.
Users will soon be able to run Steam directly in a Windows environment more smoothly, and even in an Xbox environment.When you launch the next-generation Xbox, you can access Steam without complicated settings.It should be noted that another reliable source has previously stated that the next-generation Xbox will support Steam.But it is not clear whether this is a complete full-client integration or more basic functional support.
Therefore, Microsoft Store may introduce cross-platform library synchronization, achievement sharing and other functions to create a seamless experience through smoother cross-platform integration.
