Probably nothing.. but if anything, a Valve Xbox partnership for VR with the Index would be cool.

Dream: Xbox Series X gets PC VR compatibility. Not available on Series S. Select headsets. Launches Jan 2021. Half-Life Alyx Series X exclusive, available on VR launch day. #Believe
Reality: Gamepass available through Steam. Old Valve titles included in the subscription on Xbox consoles.
Edit:
Actual reality: It was for the Game Awards. How very fetch.

Valve has a lot of IP that would be very valuable to a company with some actual motivation to do something. DOTA, Counterstrike, Team Fortress, Half Life, Portal, Left for Dead could all stand with some modernization/sequels IMO. Steam ruined valve as a development studio, but it made them rich so I guess I can understand why they don’t make games anymore.

Valve aren't in a position where they need to be bought. They'd probably make way more on steam than Microsoft would like to offer.
Which is good, because given how shitty the windows 10 store is, i would fear Microsoft would fuck up steam.
But of course, would be nice if they killed Windows store to replace it with steam. But then again there's more trash on the win store than on steam.
Microsoft just fuck away from steam okay? Thanks.

I don't really understand what the point of GP - Steam integration would be. I guess it could be a minor convenience but not a big deal.

I'm starting to wonder if trying to misrepresent every random tweet as an imaginary tease is the way some people use to make up for all that empty space in their skulls.

MS buys valve on Monday, Sega on Wednesday, and Friday officially becomes a day off of work. All because MS bought the rights to make Friday part of the weekend. Gamer's around the world rejoice.

Dream: Xbox Series X gets PC VR compatibility.
Back when most HMD’s used hdmi ports this may have been a realistic.
Now most they use Display port. You can build some sort of breakout box (like psvr) if you want to support existing pc headsets.
I don’t see Xbox creating that box (they have had terrible luck with “attachable accessories”) or creating their own headset (see windows 10 mixed reality devices).
The ps5 camera is also not compatible with PSVR1 ...not saying that means Sony has abandoned VR....but a hardware refresh/update would be something they would aim for.

I was on the zoom call. Geoff's just been inviting guests weekly to come in and talk about the game awards and do Q&A with people on there. He's doing this weekly leading up to TGA.

Didn't gabe say Series X is the best platform on television recently? So yeah wouldn't be surprised if Valve and MS joined hands to reduce PlayStation to the point of insignificance in the games industry.
