Microsoft is hoping to attract more gamers to PC gaming in 2021 with their large investment. It will increase its suite of PC gaming tools and services, such as Xbox Game Pass for PC, Xbox Live, DirectX, DirectX Ray-Tracing, Xbox Live for PC and the Xbox app on Windows. Microsoft hopes these services will empower developers to create bigger and better gaming experiences for PC gamers.
