Windows 10 Gaming Updates: DirectX 12 and Xbox One

Stefan Mileschin · 1st April 2016, 12:36

With the Windows Anniversary Edition, Microsoft has detailed some upcoming improvements for gaming. They even brought Phil Spencer out to announce the upcoming plans for gaming on Windows. The emphasis they are putting on gaming in the last while is quite a change, and gaming on both Xbox and PC is a much bigger focus for Microsoft than in the recent history. That’s not a big surprise, since the gaming industry is one of the few bright spots in the PC market, and with the recent release of consumer virtual reality headsets, there’s a big opportunity here for all parties to improve and update the hardware and software.
