Xbox It seems to be going all out for its protection as it has set up an entire team to secure the future of the platform.
A few years ago, Xbox made a huge effort to make many older Xbox and Xbox 360 games playable on Xbox One and Series X/S, a move that was welcomed by many as it made gaming more accessible to many people . Classic gaming requires you to take out your old console and you’re not even sure you have all the cables. Now, according to Windows Central , Xbox president Sarah Bond has revealed in a recent email to company employees that an entire team has been formed to focus on preservation.

“We’ve formed a new team dedicated to game preservation, which is important to everyone at Xbox and to the industry itself,” Bond wrote. “We’re building on our long history of providing backwards compatibility to players, And we remain committed to delivering an amazing library of Xbox games to the next generation of gamers.” According to Windows Central’s sources, Microsoft may share more information about this at its annual showcase this summer, which may also Will reveal “Gears of War 6”.
Bond also touched on Activision’s acquisitions and new hardware, writing: “It’s been almost six months since we came together as an organization. Our collective achievements in that time have been tremendous. Everyone should be incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished and excited about the opportunities ahead. We’re moving full speed ahead with our next generation of hardware, focused on delivering the biggest technological leap in a generation.”
As always, this may sound like a claim, especially since Xbox uses similar language with every console upgrade, but it’s no surprise that the company is already working on the next generation of consoles.
Somewhat frustratingly, Bond also apparently said that “at a time when growth in the gaming industry is flattening, our growth continues,” despite Microsoft laying off 1,900 employees from its video game division earlier this year. But one thing is for sure, growth!
