The “mobile gaming” sector is currently still firmly in Apple’s hands – but only because of a lack of competition. Microsoft has now announced that 63 games will be released in the first wave – including “Assassin’s Creed”, “Castlevania”, “Halo Waypoint”, “Crackdown 2: Project Sunburst”, “Fast & Furious 7” and the Star Wars games.
These titles will admittedly be restricted – a phone simply does not have the performance of a gaming computer – but their controls and gameplay are to be adapted to the new platform.
