Generic confirmations to that effect had had in late February with the declarations made by Satya Nadella to dotNet Conference, but on this occasion a more precise date, nor had it had not been provided alluded to the unification of the two stores. The new information was sent out during the Game Developers Conference by Jason Ronald, head of the Xbox Advanced Technology Group at Microsoft, as reported by Business Insider.
The provision, added Roland, will produce positive effects for the community of developers who could thus reach a wider audience by developing a single platform app and games intended for PC users and Xbox One owners. Microsoft's goal is synthesized by Roland statements that does not hide his ambition to make the UWP the best place to develop games.
In the light of the context in which the statements were widespread and in the absence of further details about it, you can not determine with certainty whether the Xbox One will be even more beyond the borders of its nature as a gaming machine and entertainment, allowing the execution not only of UWP games, but also apps borrowed from the PC world.
Technically there are no particular limits to this end and, given the shared core software with Windows 10 devices and the ability of the app UWP to adapt to any device equipped with that operating system. In fact, it will be up to Microsoft to evaluate the opportunity to make an Xbox One PC replacement potential - think of the ability to use with appropriate external devices the Office personal productivity suite, for example.
The next event to outline in more detail how the UWP app will work on Xbox One and what type of content will be available for Microsoft's home console is fixed in two weeks with the start of the waiting Build Conference.
