Microsoft has just announced a huge boost to its backwards compatibility drive by making all its future Games with Gold titles backwards compatible at launch.

With the launch of Windows 10 and a renewed push to unify Xbox and PC into one huge ecosystem, it’s a busy time for Microsoft.

Also noted by Microsoft is the ability to utilize Smartglass apps on Windows devices to remotely schedule recordings, you know in case you abruptly remember at work. Companies who have agreed to backwards compatibility were also revealed. Since 2013 Microsoft has downplayed watching live TV on Xbox One but will offer a new subscription-free DVR functionality in 2016.

Furthermore, it has been announced that if you were to buy a game on one platform (such as from the Xbox Marketplace), you will automatically have it for the other platform (such as Windows 10) as well.

Microsoft kicked off Gamescom 2015 in Germany on Tuesday, showing off its fall 2015/2016 lineup of games for the Xbox One and Windows 10 OS.

Are you ready for your Xbox One to get a whole lot more modern? Besides free TV DVR, Microsoft also announced a brand new accessory coming to Xbox One, and it has also been requested by Xbox One owners. The Chatpad fits underneath the controller and lets you easily write out redemption codes or messages. Android and iPhone users, for instance, can still pause live television on an Xbox One console, but they won’t be able to transfer files to watch on their smartphone later. Immediately after the press conference, Phil Spencer sat down with our friend at GameSpot and talked about need of first party Xbox One games to be more Diverse.

The Game Drive for Xbox is coming soon and is set to retail for $109.99.
