For example: вЂњNintendo Switch uses a playerвЂ™s Nintendo Nickname before they link their Microsoft account.

(Though that hasnвЂ™t stopped hundreds of thousands of people from buying it on Steam!)Д«ut clearly, although Nintendo has come along for part of the ride, ( requiring a Microsoft logon for multiplayerВ on Minecraft Dungeons on Switch, for example, with Xbox achievements working), full Xbox ecosystem integration isnвЂ™t happening on Switch in the near - or even far - future.ДЄfter all, this cross-OS stuff just turns into UI/code spaghetti with multiple partners.

So you can clearly see the advantages of getting 6 months of вЂXbox Game Pass for PCвЂ™ for the cost of buying Microsoft Flight Simulator on Steam.

A good example is them signing with physical/digital retailer GameStopВ to вЂњshare in the lifetime digital sales revenue - including for full game downloads, DLC, and subscription plans - for any Xbox console sold through its stores.вЂќДЄnd when it comes to Steam on PC, Xbox Game Studios has started publishing even more content there recently - partly because people can subscribe to PC Game Pass (or Game Pass Ultimate) using the same computer. WhatвЂ™s interesting here is that Microsoft is clearly now open to unconventional вЂecosystem partnersвЂ™. (Actually makes me wonder if the Switch port of the Ori sequel, which just got published via iam8bit, was originally asked for at one point by Microsoft.) But it didnвЂ™t happen, and now Microsoft is backing away. And perhaps Microsoft was hoping or was even promised that Nintendo would open up its platform even further, maybe even to xCloud or Game Pass. So this is a little piecemeal and, as noted, вЂcosmeticвЂ™. It feels very cosmetic, just Microsoft Studios making sure I donвЂ™t forget where the game came from, as if I could forget.вЂќВ (And the cross-platform achievements later broke/got flaky.) However, as KotakuвЂ™s Mike Fahey commented at the time of release: вЂњThough it does connect to my Microsoft account,В OriВ Switch achievements donвЂ™t show up on my feed. (Though itвЂ™s a little unclear if this is to do with the long-delayed Cuphead DLC, or something else.) Nonetheless, Ori & The Blind Forest did launch with Xbox Achievements baked into the Switch version, if you logged onto your Microsoft account.

Specifically, the GDC 2019-themed announce said that вЂњfans will now have the opportunity to experience StudioMDHRвЂ™s award-winning debut game on Nintendo Switch with Xbox Live! WeвЂ™ll be working with StudioMDHR to implement Xbox Live features into Cuphead on the Nintendo Switch in the coming months.вЂќДЄnd guess what - this Xbox Live patch for Cuphead never happened. But why did it start in the first place? Well, one intriguing clue I found was this March 2019 announcementВ that Xbox Live features were going to be patched into Cuphead on Switch after release. So that seems to be an indication that this strategy is coming to an end. 'I donГўв‚¬в„ўt have to go ship those games on any other platform other than the platforms that we support in order to kind of make the deal work for us.' /fIXH3opJwF Phil Spencer on whether Xbox can recoup the $7.5b Bethesda acquisition without releasing on PlayStation: These are Xbox-exclusive portfolio titles - why would Microsoft do this?Д«ut now itвЂ™s late 2020, and this excellent Kotaku interview with Xbox head honcho Phil SpencerВ added a little flavor to the current state of the Microsoft/Switch crossover: And then came Ori & The Blind Forest, announced in August 2019В and debuting in September 2019. And itвЂ™s also not incredibly eye-opening that franchise extensions like Minecraft Dungeons end up debutingВ on PlayStation 4 and Switch as well as Xbox and PC.Д«ut I was legitimately surprised when the Microsoft Game Studios-published Cuphead (which was funded extensively to completion by Xbox) ended up getting released on Nintendo SwitchВ in April 2019. ItвЂ™s not surprising that Minecraft continues to get updated for pretty much all platforms. It may not have escaped your knowledge that - besides Minecraft, which already had a multiplatform strategy and roll-out when Microsoft bought the game back in 2014В - other Xbox Game Studios games have been popping up on other console platforms. MicrosoftвЂ™s discovery strategy on вЂrival platformsвЂ™ What? How Microsoft playing nice with other platforms (particularly the Switch) looks to have been an attempt to extend the Xbox ecosystem to those very platformsвЂ¦. Another week in game platform paradise, and weвЂ™re starting out this time with an interesting area of research.
