Microsoft is expanding its program Xbox Research. The goal is to establish closer collaboration with developers and make it easier for them to develop games for Xbox consoles. On this occasion, the American company asks why the creators prefer a competing console.
Microsoft wants to connect with teams of all sizes, including those outside the Xbox ecosystem. He believes that by communicating with them directly, he will receive important information from them that will help solve key problems and improve tools and services.
Microsoft does not hide what it can from developers preparing games for competing platforms. get valuable informationfrom whom he can learn a lot.
Game developers prefer PlayStation over Xbox. This is mainly because the PS4 was a significantly more successful console than the Xbox One. The dominance of “blue” consoles from Japan continues even in the case of the current generation. There’s also talk behind the scenes about the time exclusivity deals Sony has with individual studios, as well as headwinds at Xbox. The support team is having trouble servicing all applicants. Recently, the author of Entoria: Last Song complained about the lack of communication.. Only the intervention of Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft’s gaming division, helped. On the other hand, communication between independent developers and Sony does not seem to be blocked, and company specialists are helping other authors.
The Xbox Research program is currently only available to studios in the United States. However, it should be made available to other countries in the future so Microsoft can get more usable information.
