Xbox president Sarah Bond has established a new team dedicated to game preservation and backwards compatibility in future hardware.
That’s according to an internal memo shared by Windows Central, in which Bond also reaffirms Microsoft’s commitment to future video game hardware.
According to the publication, Microsoft has established the team to “ensure the future-proofing of the current Xbox game library against future hardware paradigm shifts”.
Bond wrote: “We have formed a new team dedicated to game preservation, important to all of us at Xbox and the industry itself.
“We are building on our strong history of delivering backwards compatibility to our players, and we remain committed to bringing forward the amazing library of Xbox games for future generations of players to enjoy.”
Commenting on future hardware plans, the exec added: “It’s been nearly six months since we came together as an organization. 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.”
Legal documents leaked last September potentially laid bare key elements of Microsoft’s gaming strategy for years to come, including plans to launch a redesigned, ”adorably all digital” Xbox Series X console codenamed ‘Brooklin’.
While its plans may have changed, according to the documents, the console was targeting a November 2024 launch and a $499 price point.
