A recent rumor suggests the Xbox Series X will play Steam games, which would give it a considerable edge over the PlayStation 5.

The rumor suggests that with the release of the Xbox Series X, it will come with an added feature of the console being able to play games from Steam.  It’s believed that the console will have a “windows mode” which will allow the player to switch from console mode to PC mode in an instant.

On the PC mode, the player will be able to play games purchased from Steam, as well as Epic Game Store.

This is huge news as it will be amazingly convenient for gamers to switch in between modes and to not have to exit their console just so they can go to their PC. This is also very much in line with Microsoft’s unified gaming experience where a gamer has only one console.  

A unified console experience is also further pushed since Microsoft is saying that the Xbox Series X will support every generation of Xbox titles. So this rumor doesn’t seem so far from the truth as it is possible for Xbox to really want to pursue a unified gaming experience.

The rumor is further supported by the Xbox/Nintendo partnership that allows Nintendo to use properties belonging to Microsoft.

However, in the end, this is all just a rumor, and this may not come to fruition. Fans of Microsoft and Xbox alike will have to wait for an official announcement or wait until the Xbox Series X releases this year to see if the rumors are true.

The Xbox Series X is set to release Holiday 2020, giving it a window between October and December.
