    Neat. I wonder if that includes the free games Epic offers?

    Steam on console would be amazing.. my PS5 allows for steam link but it’s worthless. What’s the point of playing crossplay games if I can’t invite people from my steam friends list (Helldivers 2)

    Sooo… Give us full windows on Xbox already and have Xbox “os” as the default launcher.

    Just make the xbox a windows system with some months of game pass included as combo.

    You know how many xbox they’ll sell if it’s just windows wrapper?

    Nobody wants Epic games store on PC and he wants to put it on Xbox?!

    This could actually be the comeback of the century that Xbox needs ngl.

    Because this would essentially make them a console/PC hybrid. A lot of people can’t afford $1000+ PCs, but they can afford a $500 console. So essentially they’d be getting a pretty decent gaming PC for $500 which they can play their entire Xbox library on, have gamepass on, and have PC games on. Mental.

    Not to mention I’m sure this would also open up the modding and emulation scene depending on how much more “like a PC” they want to make the Xbox.

    That would genuinely give them a major edge over PlayStation/Nintendo. Especially if they got steam on board.

    Probably the best bet for Xbox’s survival if it’s not going to use exclusives for conventional console competition.

    No thanks. I have already experienced it on windows PC

    So they won’t be making money from this? They already aren’t making money from console sales, right?

    Does this mean epic will make a proper launcher? My free games list needs a laundry okay.

  11. Mitrovarr

    At some point isn’t it just a windows PC then?

  12. Might as well just make pre-built PCs and call it an Xbox.

  13. darkrubyechoes

    If Phil Spencer wants to do this then just make Xbox a PC. Theres no point anymore of making it a console.

  14. Mindful-O-Melancholy

    But will you still need Xbox live to play online?

    This actually makes a lot of sense.

    The series X and S are as close to a PC as game consoles have gotten and with Microsoft also having windows I’d be genuinely surprised if there isn’t some kind of like PC mode or support in the next Xbox console cycle.

    Honestly if I could access steam through my Xbox I’d probably never use anything else ever again.

    Wow. How is this guy not fired already…

  17. Proper-Pineapple-717

    Xbox is thirsty af since Helldivers came out

  18. ProfessionalAir882

    I dont even want Epic Games Store on PC…

  19. He needs to act like that if he wants Xbox Gamepass on PS and Nintendo. Cant be a hypocrit not allowing other stores on XBox and then ask to be on the other platforms.

    Imagine slapping Steam on the 360. That would be amazing!

    I’m a fan of all stores on all other stores/platforms. Give us options.

  22. I remember suggesting to some guys at the xbox booth: just put office on this things and you’ll sell them as hotcakes, the commodore 64 of the future

  23. SpliTTMark

    Im thinking of getting a macmini for $500 its like 1/5 the size of a ps5/xbox

  24. BabyThiefShark

    It needs to have a quick resume or rest mode feature

    What’s going on with Microsoft lately? Just today I’ve seen like 5 different things that Phil Spencer wants or complains about.

    I wish Phil Spencer wanted Xbox to produce good first party games.
