Xbox and the metaverse. The metaverse is not far from the world of the Xbox, Satya Nadella says: “we are going to create something in games.”
The metaverse is one of the most talked about terms in recent times, especially after Meta (ex-Facebook Inc.) declared its intention to focus heavily on this reality. Will Microsoft be different? On behalf of the Xbox part of the company, CEO Satya Nadella said something will be done.
Through Bloomberg, we can read the words of the CEO of Microsoft: “You can absolutely expect that we believe something in the field of games. If you take Halo as a video game, it’s a metaverse. Minecraft is a metaverse, and so is Microsoft Flight Simulator. In a way, these products are 2D today, but the question is: “can these realities be brought to a fully 3D world?”; we have plans to do so ”.

What does this all mean? At the moment we have no idea. The concept of metaverse, in practice, is still not very defined: even Meta has only presented the first steps in that direction, specifically through Horizon Home. Microsoft will probably take the time to define a game strategy for the metaverse.
