PC Port Confirmed For 2016 In New Microsoft Marketing
And, the best reflection of this success came from the holiday season, where Xbox Live usage hit a record high and was the best they’ve ever seen. It turns out that’s only a half-truth, as ReCore will also be available on Microsoft’s Windows 10. The popularity of these titles doubled engagement with Microsoft published titles in 2015 versus 2014, and all stand above an 82 Metascore.
The previous year also saw Microsoft making one of the biggest acquisitions in its history: a stupendous $2.5 billion buyout of Minecraft. Furthermore, according to a recent New York Times report, one-time Bungie employee and esteemed Halo writer Joseph Staten is also on board, thus ReCore is shaping up to be one to watch in 2016. With over 4 billion achievements earned during the past year, gamers are interfacing with their Xbox more than ever before.
More than 350 games were released or were made playable on Xbox One in 2015 (including first and third-party, ID@Xbox and Xbox One Backward Compatibility titles), fueling progress toward our goal of delivering the largest games catalog ever on Xbox.
With that in mind, Microsoft has announced that it will deliver the following Windows 10 game experiences in 2016.
The update closes with a message from Microsoft, saying “We are grateful to our passionate community of gamers on Xbox One”. ReCore is listed as a new title expected to be released in 2016, although both the inclusion of a PC release and new release date window are completely new. This is the fourth main video game but the fifth total, and it will be a direct sequel to the previous “Gears of War 3” so you might want to replay that if you forget what all happened.
There are a lot of other really fun games coming out in 2016 for the Xbox One exclusively, but these are the games that most people are talking about right now.
