8:11About this one, and I'm working on a separate thing but I'll just ask you directly: would you ever consider dropping or adjusting the Xbox Series S parity clauses with the Xbox Series?
than PlayStation this year and they're carrying them now and giving them food to eat because boys got to eat, you know what I mean. But earlier in the year there was some huge discussions about Microsoft having OEM models that are supposed to be hybrid, high-end PC-like consoles where you wouldn't have to worry about playing all your games and paying for all your games on Xbox, and if you would want to go to PC everything would be able to transfer back and forth there, and you'd be able to play like GOG, which is great old games, Steam, and have PlayStation games and have Epic on there.
So in this video right here we're going to get some clarification and we're going to see that Phil Spencer doesn't deny it, and he's going to clarify that in a way. And I've been telling people that if Sony doesn't want to play that game while Microsoft's giving their games, don't that's their route, they don't necessarily have to do that. But you can kind of see that Phil Spencer is going to say look, if you don't want to play that game then we're going to get Steam on Xbox and we're going to be playing PlayStation 5 games on Xbox in the future, and then there's not going to be much differences. I'm telling you this is coming, so let's get ready to highlight this part in this interview because I'm going to make a different video about different aspects in this interview. You don't want to do a video that's 34 minutes long and drag that out. No, no, no, we got some key things to talk about on different perspectives that are separate. So in this video, let's talk about that.
To owning say an Xbox console or being in the Xbox ecosystem, you're going to be able to play your games that you buy with us in many different places. Your state, your save game. Quick story: a friend of mine who I work with, she's younger than I am, she never played the Gears game. So we're going through and playing Gears from back, started on one, we're now on three, they're all co-op so we're playing together. And you know, the simple thing like logging in and seeing my save game from 2011 kind of populate. And I still get to go play. You know, the experience that you're going to have on Xbox is we respect your progress on our platform and the games that you own with us. We're going to make play anywhere almost everything that you have on your Xbox. When they make that aspect happen, you'll be able to get on your PC and it's all right there, and you're not going to have to buy the game again and your saves will transfer all the way across.
He's confirmed that. We're going to get to the Steam aspect here next. Oh by the way, if people didn't know, I was number one in the world in Gears 2 back in the days. I stayed up 72 straight hours when it came out. I was number one in War Zone. I was a heavy Gears of War player. I was one of the top players in Gears 1 as well too. Also did GameBattles and all that. I love the franchise. It's one of my favorite shooters of all time. I've played every Gears and I'm looking forward to Gears E-Day. Judgment, we'll talk about that some other time. If y'all didn't know, People Can Fly are now helping co-develop that with The Coalition, so I'm looking forward to that playing on R and 5.
Hardware. I love when I see handhelds, when I see kind of unique things that hardware manufacturers do. And I want our hardware to compete in on power and on innovation. So let's have our platform continue to innovate with services and the hardware work that we're doing, whether it's control, whether it's power, what mobility, whatever it is that we're focused on. And let's have our games reach you as the person who's investing your time and your money in our games wherever you want to go play. I think that's our identity going forward, and it's working for us now. And I love the innovation that we're able to bring through doing that.
