Xbox’s Phil Spencer used GDC in San Francisco to confirm that Microsoft’s wearable VR device, HoloLens, will work with Xbox One titles.

Functionality has to obviously be programmed into those select games, so no examples were able to be given. Spencer did say that interested developers should sign up for the Windows Insider Program for eventual API access.

“While there are going to be many uses and industries that take advantage of Microsoft HoloLens and everything that holographic computing has to offer, gaming is a huge opportunity,” Microsoft later affirmed via press release.

We expect to learn more of HoloLens at Microsoft’s upcoming Build conference.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
