During tonight's PC Gaming Show, Microsoft's Phil Spencer and Rod Fergusson from The Coalition announced two Xbox titles that will be coming to Windows 10. Those games, for those who didn't read the headline, are Killer Instinct and Gears of War: Ultimate Edition.
“There are a lot of opportunities for cross-platform,” Spencer said, “but I also think there are games that exist on a television, and there are games that exist with a keyboard and mouse on the PC. It’s not our job to dictate where games are developed or the kinds of games developers want to build. But giving developers the options, the opportunity, creating the widest canvas we can for creativity – what I’ve seen, in my time in the gaming space, is that that leads to the best games. And I think that’s why we’re all here.”

After he was asked onstage about what’s coming up next for Xbox on Windows 10, Spencer revealed that Microsoft Studios is both developing new properties for and bringing existing blockbuster franchises to Windows 10. In addition to Rare’s Sea of Thieves announced earlier this week for Windows 10, Phil confirmed that Xbox One fighting title Killer Instinct is also in development for Windows 10.(...)

Another big announcement came toward the end of the Xbox’s segment. Rod Fergusson, Studio Head of developer The Coalition, shared that the recently announced Gears of War: Ultimate Edition will be coming to Windows 10. Painstakingly remastered in gorgeous 4K with DirectX 12 and modernized with all-new content, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Windows 10 will include five brand-new campaign chapters and heart-pounding, 60 frames-per-second multiplayer action across 19 maps.

And as for the future? “There’s been a lot of push for us to do more in first-party, and we will,” Spencer promised. “We’re dedicated to that. As our portfolio builds out, you’ll hear more from us.”
