Almost a year ago Marc Whitten of Microsoft explained that some of the floors of the House in Redmond that were liked more users before the famous "DRM upset", as family and sharing the opportunity to lend digital titles, they could return. Now back on topic thanks to the statements of the head of Xbox Phil Spencer, who promised that the reintroduction of these functions is still on Microsoft's roadmap and that will be introduced with one of the next updates of the console.

"We reviewed the digital features we mentioned last year, and Yes, many of these players were really interesting. They were great to work for many games and maybe use two console or has more people at home and especially wants to share with your friends your own games. These features are in our roadmap for monthly updates. "

Spencer has, however, explained that it is very delicate features, because you don't want to reintroduce the problems that pushed users to ask a step back to Microsoft on DRM issue, then are to be made in the features best way for gamers: "Last year we were stopped on the way in which we would have these features [si riferisce ai famosi controlli online ogni ora, ndt] enabled but at the end what we really wanted was letting people say" I have this collection of games that I can share with family and friends ". And I haven't abandoned this idea. There is a certain complexity in relation to DRM, the fact that the games are also on the disc, that we must address and understand, but is definitely part of our future road. "

Spencer has also insisted that the Family Sharing should not cover only the digital games download because it wouldn't be fair to those who bought the disc without knowing who would have benefited from the operation in the future. He also added that Microsoft is considering other improvements to digital distribution, as the pre-load of the games that allows you to download them before day one and then have them unlocked the exact launch day.

So if the Family Sharing is still among the functions you wanted to on the console, know that, in some form, in the future will come. We just have to wait and see how this will be done; we will keep you updated on the course.
