Electronic Theater reports that Microsoft is preparing a universal gaming portal which supposedly allows users to play the same games across Xbox, PC, and mobile devices. This service will incorporate Xbox Live into all these devices.
This will allow users to purchase a game once and then continue playing them on any device of their choosing.
“Microsoft Studios intends to launch Xbox 360 games across all formats, allowing players to purchase the game once and continue playing on any device…Having recently announced cloud storage for Xbox 360 gamers, it seems likely that Microsoft Studios will make available a game streaming service, allowing Xbox 360 games to be played on console, smartphone, tablet or PC.
Microsoft Studios has already seen minor success with regards to these types of application thanks to the likes of Full House Poker, an Xbox Live Arcade and Windows Phone 7 title that has proven to be a fertile testing ground, though things may be taken much further in the coming year.”
Windows Phone suers already have a rudimentary version of this service, allowing them to connect with friends on the go with their Xbox Live avatar and gamer profile to check scores and wins.
