Xbox to steam

I've heard about Xbox and steam merging in some way if it does happen will my Xbox games transfer to steam. For example I've bought space engineers and all it's dlcs on Xbox, will those items transfer over to steam? id really not like to buy the same things again if I don't have to.

No. They(Xbox) are simply trying to make a way to access Steam libraries on their next console.

Stripped down version of Windows OS. That's all.

The new Xbox is still going to be considered a PC.

:nkCool:

The 1st gen PS3s were the last even partly decent console, but Sony bungled it with their firmware shenanigans. Consoles are all worthless and irrelevant now. Xbox might try to be more PC like, but that ship sailed.

Microsoft (and the other big publishers like Playstation, Nintendo, Ubisoft/EA, etc) are of the belief that streaming games will eventually be the future. Server sided gaming, where you don't have access to the files and just stream the game, is their end goal. Maybe for a subscription (and the price of the game).

This is where they want the market to go, they're just waiting on the tech to make it feasible. It's close.

Microsoft stated as much shortly after the 7th gen.

The Steam coming to Xbox is nothing more than a rumor.
There is no confirmation from Steam about this, it is all on Microsofts side that the rumor came from.

Valve doesn't need to say anything. The stripped down Windows OS is still a Windows OS that can use other services just like a regular PC can.

Then they would have to pick between calling it a PC or a console.
I doubt the law would allow them to do both.
