Microsoft has announced it has set up a special team dedicated to Xbox game preservation as work continues on the successor to the Series X/S.
According to an internal memo shared by Windows Central, the team was created by Xbox president Sarah Bond and is out to “ensure the future-proofing of the current Xbox game library against future hardware paradigm shifts”.
“It’s been nearly six months since we came together as an organisation,” she explained. “Our collective achievements in that timeframe are tremendous. Everyone should feel incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved and excited about the opportunities ahead.”
Bond went on to say game preservation was “important” to the company and the industry at large. “We are building on our strong history of delivering backwards compatibility to our players, and we remain committed to bringing forward the amazing library of Xbox games for future generations of players to enjoy,” she added.
