Microsoft is reportedly building a platform to extend Xbox Live functionality to iOS and Android games, reports The Verge.
Xbox Live is used by Windows and Xbox games for achievements, friend lists, and matches. Apparently, the Microsoft is looking to push Xbox Live cross-platform 'in a big way'.
A recent Microsoft job posting reveals some details about the plan.
"We will create a modern framework that is open-source, lightweight, extensible and scalable across various platforms including Windows Store, Windows Phone, iOS, and Android."
In order to get developers on-board, Microsoft will reportedly have fewer restrictions and offer better tools to help developers integrate the functionality into their games.
Lets forget about everything...I will ignore you guys completely when u are posting insults... What can I ask from people these days... You dont have to go insane when microsoft or apple insults another company
Replying to questions is not childish... u have changed the subject. I was talking about why everybody cant insult or judge an article.... I am a student at Journalism and I hate to see so much negativity
The hate comes from whenever a company makes a bad idea or that's what we see and many of us here say something about it, like what if it's a wrong turn for a company? Would we just be quiet about not helping them even if it means being rude?
I love articles about tech and I hate to see this android vs apple vs microsoft ....I like all of them...I am not a hater...If I dont like an article I will leave the page...not post a whole story on why I hate this article :( dont act like kids
I am not saying you dont have the freedom of speaking....but on every article I hear f..k microsoft ...what os are u using? not windows? seriously .... this article is interesting not stupid
It's just that someone may not find it a good idea, like look at the Microsoft mocking apple posts, what if we have something to say about them hate or not?
