First unannounced game ;)
I think we're pretty sure of some future franchises already, and I imagine there is some expectation of MS going back to post patch their games to support Scorpio.

Yeah I know what we expect...but nothing has been explicitly announced until this as far as I know...

What is going to be interesting is older UWP games that aren't Play Anywhere. For example, Quantum Break. Will it use the XBO code on Project Scorpio or will it use the UWP code on Project Scorpio? Or will they update the engine for the newer and more universal UWP? Yes, yes, I know redundant, but the newer UWP "is" more universal than the older UWP. :p

I would expect any older games that have a uwp equivalent to use the xo version by default.
couple reasons:
1. xo games will run without patching, updates, fixes needed. uwp isn't/wasn't as stable a platform, won't have same issue going forward as games will be able to be developed against it.

2. Things like settings page. Wouldn't be 'suitable' for console audience.

Being majority of uwp games are ms first party though, I could see them patching them, so Scorpio would get uwp version.
QB slightly less likely.

  • Tower 57 (Pixwerk) [Xbox One, Windows 10] – Tower 57 is a new Xbox One and Windows 10 co-op twin-stick shooter that supports Xbox Play Anywhere. Tower 57 aims to challenge your imagination and test your gaming skills, but also takes them to another level. Imagine being lost in a steampunk-themed tower-like fortress full of threats straight from campy sci-fi stories. Some of these enemies have tentacles, others with cutting-edge lasers, but all share the same agenda: putting an end to your existence. Now think of the same situation, but with a Tesla gun in your hand, plenty of ammo at your disposal, and a friend who’s got your back. Sounds like a much different, more explosive story doesn’t it?
 
That game mode is just one more thing that makes getting a PC for gaming more of a possibility for me...

Interesting news/article. How game mode will make games run better on Windows. Current UWP limitations -use of console's resources- for UWP games on Xbox One. And a very interesting tidbit about Windows and Xbox which is quite candid.

This sounds like the current uwp apps/games.
My understanding from the creators presentation was that Xbox would get uwp game support later on in the year.

Hey guys, I just got an XB1S. What non-gaming Windows apps can I currently use on this console without being part of the Xbox Insider program?

Sorry for asking, I'll read through this thread, just looking for some quick replies.
 
Insider App currently has Skype Preview & Palladins. Photos & Wireless Display apps are no longer showing in the app for me.
