Xbox To Go All-Digital And Also Support Crypto Wallets, Reveals Leaked Microsoft Document

Xbox goes all-digital, embracing crypto wallets. Leaked Microsoft document unveils exciting changes. Explore the future!

In another leaked slide, Xbox executives outlined a plan to develop an all-new console that will be built on a new “ecosystem generation”. According to the presentation, Microsoft’s 10th-generation Xbox ecosystem will include consoles, phones, web browsers, PCs, a handheld system, and a cloud-based console. All the devices will be connected by a shared network.

The company has already fixated on using the ARM64 architecture for the main device’s CPU. It is expected to release development kits to game creators by 2027, a year ahead of the console’s launch.

Other details revealed by the documents include features such as support for AI and machine learning to attain “super-resolution” graphics for games, frame rate improvements, and in-game character dialogue generations. Also mentioned were standard features like voice chat, player achievements, and added support for crypto wallets on the next-generation Xbox ecosystem.

The Safety & Moderation section looks worse to me than a crypto wallet.

The future is a living nightmare.

There are more than 30 items that they're promoting in that chart.
And I'm not interested in a single one of them. In fact, I don't want any of them in my gaming experience.
And why the f#c& is "Game Saves" listed under Game Services? Do they not intend to let you save your games on your own console any more? Everything has to be cloud saves?
Stop this ride Microsoft. I think I want to get off.

It's the same as it is now. Hell, login to CoD after an update and you get a notification that voice chats are recorded.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

I'm still not sure why crypto is even legal. It has no true value behind it, a wonderful currency for the dark web for sex and children trafficking and other shady shit.

Yea, it's already terrible. haha. If people on reddit are not lying, I've seen some mind-boggling temp bans.

Got you!

 

[LordCBH]

Fucking gross.

 

[Del_X]

Kinda cool. Probably won’t use it but I will definitely speculate.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Got you!

Well, even current currencies are shit. Gold reserves should be tied to all currencies.

My bet would be cloud stored saves...Probably linked to gamepass.

USDC, EUROC? We are talking about a console which is still years away and coins will evolve.

 

[mrmustard]

I guess good for the people that use it, but i'll stay the hell away from that shit.

Monetary currency is the same thing. They just spend it on "paintings," "high end art and furniture," "clever accounting with film production studio shells," "aid money," etc., etc..

Doubt that’s still the plan, MS supported crypto a few years ago but abandoned those plans very quickly.

 

[Antwix]

That's cool. People forget Microsoft accepted Bitcoin all the way back in like 2015. Nothing really that new for them.

Most currencies of the world have no true value anymore. The dollar is not based on anything other than faith. There is no standard behind it anymore.

But I also agree with you. Crypto is almost entirely a scam.

 

[Elder Legend]

The enforcement/safety tools sound absolutely amazing! Time to turn off your mic and break it in half to make sure it doesn't work or else you'll get banned for farting and will be reported for fart abuse.. Fucking pussies.

 

[Nankatsu]

What a useless feature.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

The future is a living nightmare.

This.

 

[Aenima]

Makes sense to buy games you will never own with money you never owned.

thats basically what "real" money is these days too, a bank doesnt have to hold your balance in actual cash.

 

[Mephisto40]

The idea that they are actively recording everything that is said down your mic without needing a reason to do it is ridiculous intrusive, that's the more scary part of that graphic

 

[Kadve]

Should point out that this might be a Just Cause 3 or Cooking Mama cookstar situation. Ie were seeing stuff that's using big, fancy words just for the sake of hooking investors that Microsoft actually has no intentions of actually implementing.

 

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

Crypto Wallet is good imo. Its time we leave behind credit cards etc which give out way too much info about us. Just use a hot wallet just for game purchases,

 

[adamsapple]

What exactly does a crypto wallet do

 

[Thirty7ven]

I'm still not sure why crypto is even legal. It has no true value behind it, a wonderful currency for the dark web for sex and children trafficking and other shady shit.

It has one really great use, cross border payments and transfers. Like for real. With the right choice you pay almost nothing regardless of amount and that’s actually very cool and of value.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

What exactly does a crypto wallet do

A crypto wallet is a digital storage that allows people to buy, sell, swap, lend and borrow cryptocurrency coins and tokens1. It is a hardware or software wallet that stores your private keys, keeping your crypto safe and accessible23. There are three types of crypto wallets: software, hardware, and paper wallets4. Cryptocurrency is a highly abstract store of value, without a physical token similar to cash’s coins and bills5.

Signed, Google.

Soon you can add ‘buying Xbox games’ to that horrific list.

 

[winjer]

Microsoft, you can have some of these....

 

[sendit]

I'm still not sure why crypto is even legal. It has no true value behind it, a wonderful currency for the dark web for sex and children trafficking and other shady shit.

It's the technology behind it. Blockchain. Feel free to google this, research, learn, or remain ignorant.

So all in all it's just another method of paying for stuff.

This'll be something I never use.

 

[Pelta88]

I don't get why building great games is so hard for Microsoft. Crypto?

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

I don’t believe this will happen on next gen.
The complexities would be as vast as the currencies themselves.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Maybe we will buy Xbox NFTs and only be able to buy content when they are worth money instead of buying content directly

 

[TransTrender]

Not worried.
Crypto Wallets and NFTs were SOoooooooOOOooOooOoOo hot not too long ago, so I'm sure this shit was on all sorts of marketing slides from all sorts of companies.
I doubt anyone really cares about this anymore.
