Microsoft is
planning to bring its gaming console Xbox app on Smart TVs over the next year,
which means people can stream Xbox
games directly from their TVs soon.
In an interview with The Verge, Microsoft Xbox head Phil Spencer revealed this
plan.
"I think
you're going to see that in the next 12 months. I don't think anything is going
to stop us from doing that," said Spencer when asked about turning the
Xbox into a TV app.
While Microsoft
is pushing its xCloud gaming service, the company has no plans to abandon
consoles or hardware.
The Xbox Series X
and Series S gaming consoles went on sale on November 10 internationally.
Despite launching
the middle of a global pandemic, Xbox has beaten all previous console launch
records with its new systems, Spencer had said earlier.
Microsoft
announced the release of Xbox Series X and S as its biggest Xbox launch ever,
though it did not provide any specific sales figures.
"I don't
think these will be the last big pieces of hardware that we ship," said
Spencer.
"When we
think about xCloud, which is our version of Stadia or Luna, I think what it
needs to evolve to are games that actually run between a hybrid environment of
the cloud and the local compute capability. It's really a hybrid between both
of those," he was quoted as saying.
