Si Microsoft dit don’t need a new xbox to compete with Sony’s PS5, it would seem that the company no longer needs either the venerable Xbox One. Xbox Series X now replaces Xbox One X, to become one of the most powerful consoles of the moment. In the meantime, the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, the “Netflix of video games”, continues to grow. But Microsoft will no longer produce games dedicated to the Xbox One.

Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, confirms: “We have moved to generation 9Microsoft will nevertheless continue to support Xbox One hardware and games like Minecraft running on the previous generation. However, no internal studio will be working on new games for the Xbox One.

Microsoft offers cloud gaming for the Xbox One

Incidentally, Microsoft’s recent Xbox Games Showcase didn’t contain any top-tier games that will run natively on the Xbox One. Fortunately, Microsoft has already started preparing for this transition. Indeed, the company already offers cloud gaming to allow Xbox One users to play next-gen games, such as Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Matt Booty says the company will continue to leverage its infrastructure Xbox Cloud Gaming to bring the latest games to Xbox One users. He adds: “This is how we will maintain the support“. So Microsoft’s game developers are now focusing on consoles Xbox Series S/X.

Still, some developers are calling on Microsoft to drop mandatory Xbox Series S compatibility for the latest Xbox games. Indeed, the Xbox Series S was launched as a console capable of playing in 1440p at 120 frames per second, but many games only reached 1080p. Microsoft’s larger and more capable Xbox Series X has a more powerful GPU and 16GB RAM.
