Il volto noto del team di Xbox, ossia Major Nelson, ha annunciato che da poche ore è stato interrotto il supporto all’applicazione di Xbox 360 SmartGlass.
Dunque, l’app per dispositivi iOS, Android, Windows Phone 7, Windows Phone 8, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows 8 e Windows 10 verrà privata di tutte le sue funzionalità e contenuti. La compagnia di Microsoft consiglia, in sostituzione, di scaricare all’applicazione Xbox disponibile per i dispositivi iOS, Android, Windows 10 Mobile e Windows 10, o di utilizzare i servizi sul sito Xbox.com o sulla console Xbox 360 stessa.
Si trattava, in particolare, di un’integrazione con la console casalinga di scorsa generazione, in grado di poter gestire non solo la Dashboard direttamente dal proprio dispositivo mobile, ma anche di interagire con i videogiochi stessi, come ad esempio utilizzare le mappe delle regioni di gioco dal proprio smartphone o tablet e tanto altro.
Se siete tra quelli colpiti da questa azione intrapresa dalla compagnia americana, allora potrebbe risultarvi utile dare un’occhiata a queste particolari FAQ ufficiali.
