It seems testing is already being done, to integrate these two great systems into the new Xbox, which is rumored to be a "Steam Machine" type of model.

Generally, a PC that has access to Steam, GoG, Epic and more. All from the comfort of our couch.

However access can come as soon as current generations Series X/S.

Mr Newell, i welcome this partnership with Uncle Phil, and to bring us the best gaming experiences of our lifetimes.

Fingers crossed.

Sincerely, your Pal, and Console/PC Gamer,

Ranger

Many may not have a gaming PC to do that. That's why they're on console.

With this integration, they can likely now experience Steam, and PC exclusive games without the need for a gaming PC.

It's a win win for Steam, who will now have access those millions of Xbox users (i think we can say Steam numbers are again going to bubble as it did with Steam Deck), and a win for Xbox who wants to sell machines.

The xbox can't play pc games it can only stream them from a server or from a local pc

I wouldn't put too much weight into it. I doubt it will be Microsoft Steam machine. It's more like Microsoft intends their next Xbox to be a more open platform. I would guess it's a strategy to offload server costs to the other platforms. Microsoft provides the user with a console and leaves the supply chain to everyone else.

I'm sure some will find a benefit from it. But it's no different than what anyone can do now with their PC. Just hook it up to the TV and have Steam auto launch into BPM. Sit on the couch with the controller and start gaming.

Guess the next Xbox will be more of gaming appliance.

It's probably going to use Xcloud or GeForce Now.

That's my guess. Both for me do very well, and so i hope it's true.

You do not need a gaming pc to connect it to a tv.......and for game streaming you do not need a gaming pc....or a pc at all.

Either is a win for Valve.

It is no doubt. It's a win for both imo.
