It’s been nearly two and a half years since Microsoft’s Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X consoles first went on sale in November 2020. Since then, Microsoft has acquired a number of game development studios, including ZeniMax Studios, to create games for these consoles.
The number of teams under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella (not counting third-party teams that publish their games on Microsoft) has now reached 23. We got to see what some of them are working on at the Xbox Games Showcase a few days ago. But all of them were created for Xbox Series S/X consoles and PC.
In a chat with Axios, Xbox Game Studio head Matt Booty confirmed that Microsoft’s early game teams did not develop games that would run on the company’s legacy Xbox One console. “We’ve moved on to Gen 9,” Booty said, which is Microsoft’s definition for the current generation of game consoles on the market.
If you have an Xbox One console, the good news is that if you have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you’ll be able to continue playing all of Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox Series S/X games from first-party developers. This is because they will all be playable via Xbox Cloud Streaming. “This is how we will continue to support,” Buti said in an interview.
Currently, Microsoft requires that all Xbox Series X games also run on the less powerful and cheaper Xbox Series S console. Xbox Series X exclusive games for a while. The black 1TB variant of this console will be available in September for $349.99.
