Microsoft has officially announced that it is ending game development for its older Xbox One generation of gaming console. The company has announced that they will no longer be making any games for these older consoles as they have “moved on” to their 9th gen Xbox Series S and Series X models.
Microsoft Xbox One users might want to upgrade soon
The American Tech giant’s Xbox Game Studio Chief Matt Booty stated that “We’ve moved on to Gen 9”. Although, it isn’t all bad news since the brand has confirmed that it will continue to support Xbox One hardware as well as games that are still running on the previous generation. But, Microsoft has officially announced that none of its internal studios are developing any new games for the platform. But this basically implies that other game studios making titles for the Xbox One is also unlikely.
Furthermore, the latest Xbox Games Showcase didn’t unveil any new first party games that ran on Xbox One, which confirms this announcement. On the other hand, the brand is pushing its cloud gaming platform further with the Xbox Cloud Gaming service. This enables it to offer hefty titles like Microsoft Flight Simulator to Xbox One owners. Booty added that “That’s how we’re going to maintain support”.
Now, we can expect the team to solely focus on their latest gen Xbox Series X and Series S console models. These newer consoles offers various improvements in performance and enable gamers to run certain titles at up to 120fps, which makes them better for competitive titles. Interestingly enough, this announcement also arrives mere days after the company was found ‘accidentally’ collecting kids information illegally on the Xbox.
