With the Xbox Series X/S celebrating its third anniversary later this year, Microsoft is officially moving away from the Xbox One and will no longer be making new first-party games for its 8th generation console.
in an interview with AxiosXbox Game Studios head Matt Booty said the company has “moved into the ninth generation” and none of Xbox’s 23 game studios, including Turn 10 Studios and Double Fine Productions, are compatible with the Xbox One. I pointed out that I didn’t develop a game. However, Booty said support for games like Minecraft is ongoing.
Despite no new first-party games being developed for the Xbox One, Booty noted that Xbox set out last year that the Xbox One would still have access to new first-party games such as Starfield on the console via Xbox Cloud Gaming. I repeated my earlier promise. “That’s how we maintain our support,” Booth said. It’s not the native version, but it’s a solid alternative if you still have an Xbox One and want to reuse it in some way.
The news comes less than a week after Xbox held its Games Showcase, where the company shared new information, including updates from several first-party developers and several third-party announcements. shared.
