SuperTaz Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 http://news.xbox.com/2015/01/xbox-one-phil-spencer-unveils-new-experiences-for-xbox-one-and-windows-10-gamers The Xbox App. Whether you only game on the PC, the console or both, the Xbox app brings together the most important aspects of your gaming life: Games, Friends, Messages, Activity Feed, your gaming legacy with Achievements, and much more. Xbox Live and multiplayer across devices. Xbox Live is social, interactive, and seamlessly integrated directly into Windows 10, bringing gamers the experiences they love across devices, like multiplayer gaming on Windows 10 against players on an Xbox One, and messaging and chat with friends. And developers will get full access to the Xbox Live API, making it easier to create more powerful gaming scenarios across devices. Game Streaming. Thanks to the deep integration of Xbox on Windows 10, games on Xbox One can be streamed through your home network to your Windows 10 PC or tablet, anywhere in your house. Xbox One gamers will now be able to play many of their favorite console games on their PC. And many Xbox One accessories will work interchangeably on the console and PC (with more on the way), so you can customize your experience in whatever way you see fit. DirectX 12. We’ve enhanced our graphics technology to squeeze every ounce of performance out of your supported hardware and open up a new wave of innovation for high-end graphics. Delivering greater complexity and detail on your current PC, games authored or updated for DirectX 12 are able to run faster and have richer visuals. And this technology is already in the hands of developers today. The engines used to power hundreds of games are implementing DirectX 12, including Unreal Engine 4 from Epic and, as we announced today, Unity. Game DVR. On Xbox One, one of the most popular features used by gamers is Game DVR, which gives simple access to recording, editing, and sharing out your most epic gaming moments. It’s not easy or consistent to do that for PC games today. We’re bringing this beloved feature to Windows 10, now accessible by simply pressing Windows+G. With the games you love playing – whether on Xbox Live, Steam, or other services – you can record, edit, and share game clips with all your social networks. http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/01/21/the-next-generation-of-windows-windows-10/ Delivering Windows as a Service and a Free Upgrade to Windows 10Today was a monumental day for us on the Windows team because we shared our desire to redefine the relationship we have with you – our customers. We announced that a free upgrade for Windows 10 will be made available to customers running Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows Phone 8.1 who upgrade in the first year after launch.* This is more than a one-time upgrade: once a Windows device is upgraded to Windows 10, we will continue to keep it current for the supported lifetime of the device – at no cost. With Windows 10, the experience will evolve and get even better over time. We’ll deliver new features when they’re ready, not waiting for the next major release. We think of Windows as a Service – in fact, one could reasonably think of Windows in the next couple of years as one of the largest Internet services on the planet. 3 Quote
Leader RedBaird Posted January 23, 2015 Leader Posted January 23, 2015 So, I can get a free upgrade to Win10 from Win7 and use the xBox app to play online with my nephews in their fav xbox games? Very Interesting. 2 Quote
.KeLFOuTO!r. Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Microsoft announced that Win10 would be free the first year. They need to reboost their sales and image after Win8 disaster. 1 Quote
Jobba Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Ugh, rather just use mac. Windows 10 looks ugly imo. Quote
Krayzie Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 How can you say 10 has a lot of errors when it hasn't even be released to the general public except for a beta which is.bound to have things that need fixed? 3 Quote
CruelKind Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) This is something I've been hoping for. The ability to play cross-platform should really bring a surge of users to XBox and PC Games alike, taking away from Sony. Hope it isn't all BS. Edited May 27, 2015 by CruelKind Quote
