Windows Central

Similarly, the Xbox Full Screen Experience will allow you to exit out to full Windows if you want to, and run competing stores like Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft's own Battle.net, the Riot Client, and indeed anything else you want. Indeed, you could run Adobe CC or Microsoft Office on the next Xbox, if you so choose.acquisition of Activision Blizzard removal of many Addons

Windows Central

Exiting out to Windows will be for those who want to access games traditionally not available on Xbox, including PlayStation games on Steam, mouse and keyboard-first games like League of Legends, or even classic games from GOG and the like.

You will be able to run PlayStation's PC titles like God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, and Spider-Man on the next Xbox, purchased via Steam or Epic Games. You will be able to play World of Warcraft on the next Xbox, via Battle.net. You'll also be able to install practically any game that runs on Windows, giving you access to decades upon decades of content all on a single device.this Reddit post by brennanisgreat

LF key push resi 16 - no console playersComment by ShakesyBefore people freak out, this is basically saying ANY windows application will be able to run on the new Xbox interface. This doesn't necessarily mean that WoW is being designed for Xbox (although Im sure some of their recent decisions have been influenced by this.) Its more that WINDOWS (and everything that it can do) is being ported to Xbox than WoW is being ported to Xbox
