Speaking at an event in London attended by , corporate vice president Phil Harrison said tha🍰t Windows 8 has helped expand the Xbox experience beyond th𝓰e living room.

He said there&rౠsquo;s been an increase in the use of Xbox services on supported platforms like PCs, laptops, tablet🥂s and smartphones, and suggested that the future of the brand will be games that are accessible on multiple devices.

Harrison commented: "Increasingly, the games are going to sit o🏅n the cloud. Instead of being device cen🐈tric, they will be cloud centric.

"This vision ꧑🌜is what influenced me to join Microsoft in the first place.”

At the same event, Harrison also revealed the focus of new UK-based Microsoftಌ studio Lift London, which was ♉first announced last September.

Led b🌳y former Rare production 🥂director Lee Schuneman, it will create content for tablets and cloud services.

Lift London will also serve as a talent incubator that nurtures smaller studios, startingཧ with DLaLa, a small independeꦯnt outfit which has signed a commercial agreement with Microsoft.

Harrison of Lift London: "I want to create from scratch a 21st century studio. Not a studio that would make retail products, a studio that would make games for ☂the cloud.

"The shift is from🐈 packaged goods to connected products. We will continue to support retail with our products for sure, but we are going to keep creating features that are enhanced and improved by the network."
