Microsoft is shifting its strategy toward becoming the leading game publisher across platforms, with reports indicating plans to integrate Steam into Xbox systems. Spanish insider eXtas1s revealed in a recent YouTube video that Microsoft has added Steam application support internally, prompting speculations about future integration with Xbox consoles. This move aims to improve accessibility and functionality for gamers, making the next Xbox resemble a PC where Steam is easily accessible through the Microsoft Store. Additionally, there are hints of potential involvement from Epic Games, highlighting a broader strategy for platform interoperability.
Microsoft has officially added the Steam application to its device support software, under the name "Steam Developer Beta". It's currently only available to certain employees and collaborators, but the implication is huge.
Naturally, that means you'll need Steam integration, and this will come via the Microsoft Store - so when you boot up your next-gen Xbox, you'll have access to Steam without any complex setup.
...this is a clear strategic move from Microsoft. It supports their ongoing vision to create interoperability between gaming platforms.
This reflects Microsoft's intention to foster coexistence and cooperation between the Xbox ecosystem and the massive PC platform that is Steam.
