Windows 10 will arrive on the Xbox One sometime after summer

We heard all about Windows 10 for computers and mobile devices, but what about the Xbox One? Well, while details about what we can expect from Windows 10 for the Xbox One are pretty much nonexistent, Xbox chief Phil Spencer has assured us that the Windows 10 update will roll out for Xbox One users “post-summer.” That’s just vague enough to give us next to no idea when to expect the update. Thanks, Microsoft. 

If you’ve been keeping up to date with all the breaking Windows 10 news then you might have wondered exactly when the revamped OS will make its way to the Xbox One. Thanks to Xbox chief Phil Spencer, we have a new hint. Replying to a tweet, Spencer said the beta edition of Windows 10 would arrive on the Xbox One “post-summer”. The Microsoft executive didn’t elaborate any further, so that’s all you’re going to get on the matter for now. Have a look at your wall calendar and you’ll see “post-summer” could mean this autumn, or spring 2018. In fact, it doesn’t narrow down things much at all – but realistically, it sounds like the beta will arrive not long after the summer months, and probably sooner than most people expected. It’s going to be a significant software jump for the Xbox One too, bringing streaming to Windows desktops and the ability to capture and edit game footage on a connected Windows 10 computer. There’s a good chance we’ll hear more at E3 next month.
