Microsoft CEO says Xbox is “going to be everywhere, on every platform” and adds another hint that the next Xbox will be a PC hybrid: “We built the console because we wanted to build a better PC”

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has issued rare comment on the gaming side of the business, echoing recent language from high-level executives and saying people will be able to play Xbox games “everywhere, on every platform.”

This isn’t new. Xbox’s ‘Play Anywhere’ slogan has been center stage at Microsoft for months, and it’s existed in various forms for more than decade. What is relatively new is hearing Nadella himself – not Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer or Xbox president Sarah Bond – touch on the gaming side of Microsoft in this much detail.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar’s west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I’m responsible for managing the site’s western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I’m too afraid to finish.
