Microsoft announced that it will reveal the future of Windows 10 at an event in January, and they said at the time that Xbox head Phil Spencer will take the stage in some capacity.
Now the Microsoft executive has revealed that he’ll be discussing Windows gaming at the event. “I’ll be focusing more on what we are doing on Win10 in January,” he said in a tweet on December 12.

“It’s time for us to talk about gaming on Windows.” Windows gaming is ‘critical’ Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will head the Windows 10 event, while other executives from the company’s operating systems group, including Spencer, will be on hand as well.
Microsoft’s efforts to invigorate Windows gaming have fallen universally flat in recent years, but Spencer has said in the past that the company wants to bring Windows gaming back into the spotlight, as Polygon points out.
The latest Windows 10 leak shows Microsoft is gearing up with an Xbox and Cortana-integrated version of its operating system for consumers. The leaks are a prelude to the Jan. 21 event to be held at Microsoft’s Redmond headquarters where it will unveil what Windows 10 can do for consumers.
“Gaming on Windows is critical to Microsoft’s success,” he reportedly said at E3 this year, and it seems that statement may finally pay off in January.
