Phil Spencer talks about games with gold and backwards compatibility, amongst other things
Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Division head Phil Spencer took to Twitter to talk to fans about the latest updates for Xbox One. In his tweets he talked about a range of things which included Games With Gold and backwards compatibility for Xbox One, amongst other things. Mr. Spencer was active on Twitter this Thursday and he talked about how everything was proceeding smoothly for the Xbox One.
The tweets focused on Mr. Spencer assuring Xbox fans that they were working on making backwards compatible titles easily available for the fans. This is great news for fans, as this will mean that they can easily play classic titles that were released on previous Xbox versions.
Mr. Spencer assured the fans that they will make it easy for users to buy backward compatible titles from all Microsoft platforms, whether it be Windows 10, Xbox one, 360 or Xbox.com even. This would be a large feather in the cap of Xbox, as this can also see the revival of retro gaming, and many old titles can make an appearance on the Xbox One.
To add support for achievements would be tough however, as it would require individual attention for each game, he added. This may be considered difficult but it is not outside the realm of possibilities. Among other things Mr. Spencer also talked about, was the possibility of removing the region lock in some of Xbox’s upcoming titles. He also was enthusiastic about the idea of offering Windows 10 games in the games for gold promotional scheme.
Mr. Spencer also commented on Cliff Bleszinski’s latest offering "Lawbreakers" and he hopes the new offering will be as successful as the "Gears of War" franchise. He added that there would always be space for Mr Bleszinski at the Xbox team.
