Xbox team decides to join the PC Gaming Show
Microsoft today announced that its Xbox team will be participating in PC Gamer's new PC Gaming Show. In a move that might surprise many PC gamers, Microsoft indicated that its intent is to demonstrate the power of Windows 10 and how the new OS will make both your PC and Xbox One play nicely together.
Windows 10's release will bring several new features but Microsoft is keen on showing of Xbox Live for Windows 10 and the new Xbox app. Gamers on both platforms will be able to communicate with each other, and the Xbox app will allow Xbox One games to be streamed onto a Windows 10 desktop.
Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, will be at the show talking about Windows 10 and how it fits into the PC gaming sphere.
"With Windows 10, we're bringing the best of Xbox with the best of Windows gaming, including Xbox Live and the new Xbox app, Game DVR for nearly every game, and DirectX 12 for better gaming graphics and performance," said Spencer.
Indeed DirectX 12 is on the radar for essentially every PC gamer, as the new API will allow lower-level access to hardware, yielding higher performance while reducing overhead.
According to the MSDN Blog for DirectX 12, gamers can expect to see DX12 titles start appearing toward the holiday season of 2015.
The PC Gaming show will take place around E3, which is predominantly console, on June 16, 2015 at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles. We all know this is good, because the PC platform needs a show of its own.
