Microsoft Phil Spencer's gaming head wants to alleviate worries about digital libraries and future Xbox plans.

It quotes the previous “respect” of the Society for Digital Libraries and says they do not plan to change this approach.
It was an unusual time for long -term Xbox fans. It seems that the so -called “Console Wars” is coming to an end, because Xbox has committed its first party titles to PlayStation, which would be unimaginable in Xbox 360.
In an interview with Xbox Era, the gaming head of Microsoft Phil Spencer was transparent about the new Xbox business model and said that “gatekeeping” games “really” do not “not install people”. We have already seen hi-fi rush and the sea of thieves will arrive on the opposition platform, with Forza Horizon 5, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and the age of mythology reaffirmed that they will eventually release on PlayStation 5.
No need to be afraid
This apparent shift in priorities feared long -term Xbox fans who fear that the brand will move from the first page hardware and towards publishing games. The often expressed concern between these worried fans is that they lose the accumulated digital game library if Xbox stops released consoles in the next generations.
Although this concern is certainly valid, it is unlikely that Xbox will stop release of the consoles. During this interview, Spencer emphasizes several times how important the company's native platform is. Directly deals with the safety of digital libraries and says, “I want to prove respect for people who express their concern. And I would never respect anyone who came to me, concerned. I have a game library on the Xbox console. Rent all games?
Spencer also quotes the history of Xbox “showing respect for folk libraries” with functions such as backward compatibility and playing anywhere. In conclusion, Xbox wants to continue to make it easier for users to “play games as you want to play”.
The latest edition for the first page Xbox later today, with Fable, Outer Worlds 2, Age of Mythology: Retold, south of midnight, Forza Horizon 5 and others will be released later in 2025.
