etta said: You know what would be awesome, Microsoft could leverage the Xbox UI on Windows 10 to incentivize developers. If all Xbox console games work on Windows 10, you'd have games like Madden and NHL that would be playable on PC as Xbox games, or other games where developers only want to develop for PS4 and XBO, those games could be played by PC gamers with the Xbox UI.



So in some cases developers get to take advantage of selling to a PC userbase with no additional hassle of developing for PC, just develop the Xbox console version.

Imagine something big like Red Dead Redemption (not that Rockstar would make another console exclusive) or Destiny. Or hell, GTA VI will probably be console exclusive for 6-12 months again just like with GTA V, but you'd be able to play the Xbox version on PC until Rockstar releases it on PC. Click to expand...

That is what some people are hoping for. That said, the bolded is what some people are concerned about. A few of us have been talking about what that means in another thread. I think that a move towards UWA (as mentioned below) would be great in that it would get more games running on PC but it would come at the cost of the openess of the PC platform since UWP is more or less a closed system like the Apple App Store on iOS. That is fine for mobile and consoles but would take away a small part of what makes PC games unique.That is my thought as well but there is a rumor about the full XboxUI getting integrated in Windows 10 too. I suppose it could work like BackCompat on Xbox One with MS controlling which games (as Xbox UWAs on PC) could be played through the UI and each publisher agreeing what is ok and what isn't. It all sounds like a licensing nightmare to me. Honestly I am unsure what to believe.Edit: As Etta just mentioned there are two rumors circulating right now. One is Xbox UI on PC and the other is that first party xbox exclusive titles will come to PC as UWAs.
