MS To Design New Xbox One Features, Halo Team Working on Cloud System

4.8
Judging by its consistent deployment of new features via monthly updates, Microsoft is constantly looking to improve the Xbox One experience. It’s also looking for the staff necessary to implement such changes, as a listing for a Principal Software Engineer states. The listing states that the engineer will, “Design new API’s and features for the Xbox One and gaming across all Windows platforms.”

The latter part is especially interesting since Microsoft has been making more noise about improving the gaming experience with the upcoming Windows 10. How this will affect features like cross-platform gaming between the Xbox One and PC remains to be seen.

But that’s not all. Microsoft is also hiring for its Halo Game Services team and is looking for a Software Engineer to work “on building the next generation of cloud services to power our new game saga on Xbox One.” Could this perhaps mean the Xbox Live Compute services, used for multiplayer in games like Titanfall, coming into play from Halo 5: Guardians onwards?

What are your thoughts on Microsoft’s recent developments? Let us know in the comments.

Betta I really wish Xbox One's were backwards compatible. It's stupid they made all old games basically obsolete.


I totally agree whats the point of doing that besides to make more money.


You wouldn't be able to play multiplayer....

Sanctyy If MS really want to keep upgrading, maybe they should use current hardware, instead of old, out-dated hardware? Seems like that'd make sense to me. Irritates me that consoles are still stuck at sub 60FPS with resolutions of 1080p at best.


Yeah, now you can only run around 720p, I really don't notice 60 fps when playing GTA 5 on the Xbox One.

So why post on here if you don't care? Doesn't make sense.
