Take-Two Interactive also disclosed plans to shut down two subsidiary studios as part of its restructuring. 

The touch controls being introduced to Microsoft's Xbox apps for mobile devices mirror those found on the Xbox Cloud Gaming service.

The Xbox Live outage stopped some players from launching cloud games, playing digital games and making purchases from its store.

Microsoft said that more than 50 new games have been planned for this year across generations and optimized for Xbox Series X. These include Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Dirt 5, Gears Tactics, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and Watch Dogs: Legion. The New games developed for Xbox Series X and launching with Xbox Game Pass,includes exclusives like The Medium, Scorn, Tetris Effect: Connected, and more.

The packaging notes that the controller works on Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One, PC, Android and iOS devices. Microsoft has not officially unveiled an Xbox Series S yet, nor has the company even confirmed a white Xbox Series X controller. A mysterious white Xbox Series X controller also appeared online last month, complete with the new D-pad, textured triggers, and new share button.

Microsoft has filed a complaint in a federal court saying that, since 2015, a Chinese gaming website has been hacking Xbox accounts and selling the proceeds in the open market.

Kinect for Windows SDK 2.0 works exactly the same with either.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, Microsoft sold 6.6 million XBox units, with strong holiday season performance.

Microsoft said the release would come before the end of the year.

Sony launched the console in Japan in February, about four months after it debuted in the United States and well behind many other markets.

Xbox One will be the first game console legally available in China since 2000.

While the gaming console will be priced at Rs 39,990 without Kinect, Microsoft will sell the device for Rs 45,990 with the Kinect sensor.
