Xbox has established a new team dedicated to video game preservation and forward compatibility.
That’s according to Windows Central, which today published a report stating that Xbox president Sarah Bond had recently written to Xbox staff to reaffirm the company’s commitment to hardware development – which will be welcomed news for many Xbox fans – and a plan to “future-proof” Xbox’s digital libraries to “build on Xbox’s strong history of delivering backward compatibility”.
“It’s been nearly six months since we came together as an organisation,” Bond said in an email seen by Windows Central. “Our collective achievements in that timeframe are tremendous. Everyone should feel incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved and excited about the opportunities ahead. We are moving full speed ahead on our next-generation hardware, focused on delivering the biggest technological leap ever in a generation.”
