Windows 10 is expected to start rolling out this summer and it will arrive on all of the different supported platforms on its own time. Xbox One owners might appreciated the new software more because it will open up a whole new world of apps for the console. As per a new report “thousands” of apps will be available for the Xbox One when Windows 10 is released later this year.
Once Windows 10 arrives the Xbox One will be able to access the Microsoft Store and download thousands of apps that will be compatible with the console. Cross-buy will be supported for compatible apps so users won’t have to pay money for the same app across different platforms like desktop, mobile and console.
It should be kept in mind though that Xbox One won’t be receiving Windows 10 until later this year, it’s not likely to be rolled out alongside Windows 10 for desktop this July.
The Windows 10 release date has still not yet been confirmed by Microsoft. Even at its BUILD conference last week the company merely said that we should expect the new software to arrive in the coming months.
There’s no word as yet on the schedule for Xbox One. A representative for Microsoft has said that Windows 10 won’t arrive on the console until “much later.”
