Report: Microsoft Developing Cross-platform Interface for Xbox Games on Other Platforms

According to Windows Central journalist Jez Corden, Microsoft is reportedly working on a cross-platform interface for Xbox Game Studios titles. This initiative aims to bring Xbox games to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles, aligning with the company’s multi-platform strategy, which increasingly moves away from exclusivity.

The proposed interface, inspired by Battle.net’s social features, would enable cross-platform communication and integrate aspects of the Xbox ecosystem, such as cloud saves.

“Sources tell us that Microsoft is also working on a set of in-game APIs and user interface features, called Project Rainway, which is some form of cross-platform Xbox guide menu,” Corden reports.

Xbox Ecosystem Features Across Multiple Platforms

Corden also highlights that the interface draws from Battle.net features in games like Hearthstone, Diablo 4, and World of Warcraft, enabling cross-platform sharing and communication. This approach ensures that games on other platforms retain Xbox-style features and functionality.

Microsoft and Xbox leadership have consistently emphasized plans to expand Xbox Game Studios titles beyond the Xbox Series X|S. CEO Satya Nadella recently reaffirmed this vision, stating the goal is to let users enjoy Xbox on all their devices.
