Game preservation has been a significant issue in the video game industry for decades, especially aggravated with the rise of the “games as a service” model. Now, Xbox has formed a new team specifically dedicated to tackling the issue and ensuring backward compatibility, as announced by its president.
Xbox president Sarah Bond revealed the company’s plans in emails sent out to staff, first reported by Windows Central on April 6. The executive said Xbox is focused on preserving its titles and making them “accessible long into the future.”
