Xbox live coming to windows 8

Hate the inconvenience of having to access Xbox Live only on your 360? Well you'll be happy to know that you will be able to log onto your live account on the new windows 8 operating system. Microsoft's Larry Hyrb confirmed this on Major Nelsons blog.


"Bringing Xbox Live to Windows 8 is part of our vision to bring you all the entertainment you want, shared with the people you care about, made easy, At BUILD we are showing that it is easy for developers to create games for Windows 8 that take advantage of the power of Xbox Live. We have much more detail to share about the capabilities of Xbox Live on Windows and look forward to the opportunity to do so in the near future."

Rumor is that you'll be able to integrate your Xbox games onto your PC and play them right there. Nothing is confirmed yet but Live Subscribers can go online just like they would on the regular 360. Whether downloading DLC or customizing your avatar, you can do it all.

Windows 8 will be set to release next year so I'll be a while before we can do all that.
