It is well known that PCists have far more advantages than players playing on consoles. And not just in terms of graphics, resolution, … They have long enjoyed a feature via the Steam platform that allows them to offer games to their friends. Good news since the Xbox One should also benefit soon.
The eternal war between home console owners and PC players is not new. Each community has its own preferences and defends its platform at all costs with various arguments. However, it must be recognized that the PC offers significant benefits to its holders.
Significantly superior graphic quality, better image resolution, no back-compatibility concerns, … there are many positives. It is even possible, from the Steam platform, to offer games to his friends. The kind of device that some Xbox One gamers dream of, and which, on the face of it, should soon be deployed by Microsoft.
Xbox One: Giving gifts to your friends is coming soon!
Although it is currently focusing all its efforts on the now official Xbox One X (coming on November 7, 2017 on the market), Redmond's firm is not abandoning its other machine, the standard Xbox One.
The American is always keen to give him new features, which is why he could provide for the integration of the system of giving himself gifts with friends. Like Steam on PC, Xbox One players would have the opportunity to receive nice presents from their virtual friends.
It was Mike Ybarra, vice president of Xbox – Windows gaming platform, who hinted at it on Twitter following a question he had been asked on the subject. He made it clear that the system could be launched soon, but without elaborating further.
Will Microsoft talk about this at Gamescom 2017 in Cologne from August 22 to 26? Possible, but in which case this gift system were to be introduced, it would surely satisfy a very large number of Xbox One players and at the same time mean that the super-powerful Xbox One X would potentially be entitled there thereafter. Case to follow.
Not far!
