Although the current generation of Xbox began with renewed vigor after the eventful Xbox One cycle, the results have not been as expected and there is more uncertainty than security regarding the development and presence of games on Xbox Series X|S. The fact that some titles will bypass Microsoft consoles in recent years alerted the company and that is why it is looking for feedback to be able to improve its platform and processes.
Microsoft expands its Xbox Research program to developers and publishers
Through a statement published on the official Microsoft sitethe company announced that its Xbox Research program will not be limited to gamers and will expand to developers and publishers in order to learn more about their experience with consoles, the gaming ecosystem, and the development and publishing processes. In this regard, the Xbox company points out: “the goal is to listen to developer partners about the Xbox ecosystem and partner with product teams to provide information and data that can help improve future tools and services. By interacting directly with game creators, Xbox aims to gain data that will help address pain points and improve the experience for partners across the spectrum of disciplines involved in bringing games to market.”
Xbox wants to know why more developers and publishers prefer Sony’s PS5
In recent weeks, some independent and AA studios have complained about the little or no attention they have received from Microsoft to launch their games on Xbox, which has led to delays and even threats of cancellation of these versions.
Taking the above into account, Dr. Deborah Hendersen, principal researcher of Xbox users, mentions: “we want to hear from everyone who works in video games or supports studios because if we can make their lives easier and make their games better We build a lot of tools, not just GDK, and it’s important that we hear from creatives and artists who use PIX. If you’re making video games, we’re interested in hearing from you. If you’re not on Xbox, we’d love to hear why and, honestly, if you do. you’re using our competitors’ products, we probably have a lot of insight we could learn from.”
