Xbox Live on Switch

Hi Guys

Just saw this:

And was wondering what your thoughts were? Would this mean that, theoretically, C3 games could be played on the Switch as well? How is UWP/Xbox performance these days? I think it's a nice step by Microsoft and might make developing multi-platform games a whole lot easier for the future :)

Remember the Nintendo Switch doesn't support HTML5 Games. If that doesn't change, then it might not be the case. And we still can't utilize this for Construct 3.

I'm merely speculating, but this might just be XBox UWP SDK extension for integration to Nintendo Switch.

For now, the best solution is Chowdren. Until we get more details from Nintendo's side, if they have changed their mind.

I think this only refers to the Xbox Live service, not support for UWP apps.

Yes but i think the idea is that you stream games from Xbox Live to basically any device possible. Question is, what format do these streaming games need to be. I'm guessing they are in some sort of Windows format? But maybe i'm getting it all wrong, i don't know :D

it is just so you can sign in with a Xbox Live profile and share the achievements you got between your different devices, if you play the same game, like Fortnite both on mobile and xbox for instance.

so you don't need to have different setups, like gamecenter, xbox live, googleplayservices and what not

Aaaah i see :D Well sorry then, got it wrong haha.
