Every Windows 10 PC is an Xbox One

The Xbox One is Microsoft’s consumer pride and joy. The company toiled for years in the console space, building a name for itself and snatching away users from other platforms. While it was doing that, video game maker Valve was busy stealing PC gamers right from under its nose.

With Windows 10 Microsoft is trying to turn around its PC and mobile gaming fortunes. First, the Xbox One Wireless Controller will work when plugged into a Windows 10 PC using a microUSB cable. Second, the company plans to add a wireless dongle for those who’d like to ditch the cable connection entirely.

Software wise, the Games app has been tossed out in favor of the Xbox app. Besides providing quick access to Xbox Live, the app lets users record videos and take screenshots from within their games with just a keyboard combination. Video game makers can create Xbox enabled games on PC that have the same Xbox Live privileges as games on the Xbox One. The same technology that allows the Windows Store to carry compartmentalized Desktop apps can be used for video games too.
