Readers hungry for more one-on-one information about the upcoming XBox One have an answer in IGN’s “Ask Microsoft Anything About XBox One” feature, updated most recently on Monday, August 12.
Most of the currently-posted information is tidbits fleshing out what we already knew. A few noteworthy bits worth mentioning are:
- confirmation that XBox One will not require always-on Kinect to function normally
- Xbox Live Arcade games are placed alongside the other games available; there’s no particular distinction
- Cross-chat between XBox 360 and XBox One is not possible, supposedly for technical reasons. However, your friends can still see what you’re doing cross-platform
For more information, and the address to email your own questions, see the IGN article. New answers will be posted each Monday at 2 p.m. PDT.
