During its recent Windows 10 event, Microsoft executive Terry Myerson stated that the Xbox One would support new universal Windows apps. These are apps that have been designed for a single platform, supporting PC, smartphones and now the Xbox One with little restrictions.

This brings Windows 10 closer to Microsoft’s vision of a single unified platform, something which Windows 8/8.1 was unable to achieve during its time. What apps will be available for the Xbox One and how they’ll work remains to be seen but it’s a sign that Microsoft is looking to further integrate all of its devices under the Windows banner. And isn’t that good news for us?
