Xbox May Abandon Steam as Part of Broader PC Strategy Overhaul

Microsoft's Xbox division is reportedly rethinking its PC strategy, which may include abandoning Steam. According to an insider from Windows Central's Jez Corden, Microsoft has plans that could potentially allow it to pull out of Steam.

This comes as a surprise to many in the gaming industry, but some users on Reddit speculate that this might be due to the next Xbox being a PC-based console. One user suggested that Microsoft wants people to buy games through the Xbox store for Windows instead.

However, it is essential to note that these are only speculations at this point, and nothing has been officially confirmed by Microsoft. The company recently announced Xbox Backward Compatibility for PC, which allows users to play classic Xbox console games on PCs and supported handheld devices.
