“When I turn on the TV, I want to feel like the dashboard of my Xbox, but I want it on these devices (handheld consoles),” Spencer said. Spencer also discussed the possibility of a single Xbox platform that could span multiple devices.
The Xbox CEO’s comments come at a time when Microsoft has recently struggled to grow in the gaming sector. We know that the company recently laid off close to 2,000 people from its various studios, including Activision Blizzard.
According to Spencer, bringing old Xbox games to PlayStation and Switch consoles will allow Microsoft to reach more gamers. That means more Xbox games are on the way for other consoles.
