What just happened? Microsoft is no longer developing first-party games for the Xbox One. In a recent interview with Axios, Xbox Game Studios boss Matt Booty confirmed the company has moved away from making first-party games for the aging console. That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering the Xbox One is nearly a decade old at this point.
Booty said the only exception is continued support for ongoing games like Minecraft.
That said, Gen 9 games (for Xbox Series) are technically playable on the Gen 8 Xbox One via Microsoft’s cloud streaming technology. « That’s how we’re going to maintain support, » Booty added.
In somewhat related news, Booty also confirmed that teams will continue to develop first-party games for the Xbox Series S.
