At this point, I think it would be insane of Microsoft to not start offering stock Windows on Xbox consoles.
Of the three modern consoles, the Xbox Series X|S has the smallest game library.
By running stock Windows, Xbox gamers would now have access to Steam, [GOG.com](http://GOG.com), [itch.io](http://itch.io), Epic Game Store, and more.
They’d go from having the smallest library to the largest library – one that spans decades. They’d be able to play old bangers like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., which never got a console release.
And hell, if Microsoft added trackpad support on the Xbox controller, Xbox gamers could even play the original Baldur’s Gate, which also never got a console release.
If Microsoft added the entire original Xbox and 360 library, Microsoft would have the best damn gaming platform on the planet.
