Apparently,
Microsoft is looking to bring its Xbox Live Play to Apple’s iOS and
Android devices. This time it looks like that the company is
extending beyond Windows Phone’s walls. The Xbox Live Play that
comes to iOS and Android is bringing many functions to the mobile
games that run on Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS mobile
operating systems.
As
per the recent Microsoft job posting notes,
“We
will create a modern framework that is open source, light-weight,
extensible and scalable across various platforms including Windows
Store, Windows Phone, iOS and Android.”
Talking
further, the SmartGlass application that people already downloaded in
their device, now it seems that Microsoft wants to expand its Xbox
Live’s functionality. Moreover, The verge quoted its own name and
says that the company is looking to position Xbox Live as an option
for players to use to earn achievements, find friends and probably
cross-platform gaming.
So,
we can say that the company wanted to make Xbox Live to run on
different platforms because this way they can encourage more and more
developers to develop their games to its service no matter whether
they run on Windows Phone, iOS, Android or Windows.
The
main aim that listed in the job description is creating “a modern
framework that is open source, light-weight, extensible and scalable
across various platforms including Windows Store, Windows Phone, iOS
and Android."
It
makes sense that the company has desired to “win-back” game
developers from all those developers, who are turned from programming
PC titles and consoles to mobile game markets. The company will make
the Xbox Live network a lot easier to integrate into their games;
however, Xbox Live developers should get certification and permission
from Microsoft. Supposedly, the company is involved in dipping its
restrictions and offering better tools to makers to add Xbox Live
functionality to their games.
However,
The Verge also confirmed that with a source familiar with the Redmond
Company’s plans that the company is going to build a platform to
extend Xbox Live functionality to android and iOS games. Google Play
Games and Game Center are already operated by Google and Apple
respectively, but Microsoft wants to position its Xbox Live for
mobile as an option, which can be used by players to earn
achievements, sync up with friends and more.
