Spencer thanked the gaming community for the support on Steam and for Xbox Game Pass for PC and mentioned that there is more work to do.

He also admitted that in the past the skepticism toward Microsoft’s PC support was justified.

You can see the full tweet below.

I wanted to thank the community for the support on PC. We made statements like this a few times over the years and the skeptical responses were earned. More work to do but the support we are seeing through @XboxGamePassPC and @Steam team right now is really great, thanks. https://t.co/MQKdShv7MK

Recently, Microsoft has been releasing pretty much everything it develops on its Windows 10 store and has also expanded to Steam, where games by Xbox Game Studios have been doing very well, with very strong contenders in the global top sellers ranking including Grounded and the upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator.

At the moment, Microsoft most definitely seems to have gone all-in on its PC support, which isn’t exactly surprising since it owns Windows.

At the end of 2018, Spencer himself talked about the importance of adding PC DNA to the studios owned by Microsoft following the acquisition of teams like inXile and Obsidian, which have a strong pedigree on the platform. It appears that the investment is paying dividends.

It’ll be interesting to see how this evolves during the Xbox Series X generation, but so far so good.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
