Microsoft's ID@Xbox program director, Chris Charla, is just as interested in Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky as everyone else. Actually, Charla might be more invested in the procedurally generated indie game, as the Microsoft employee is hoping to bring the space exploration title to the Xbox One whenever possible.
"I would be super-psyched if they want to bring that game to Xbox," he told OXM in London.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that the company has already started talking to Hello Games, as the tiny studio is likely buried in press requests and media attention at the moment. It’s in the cards, though, as Charla is confident that the game would be a great fit on his product.
We are obviously huge evangelists for our platform," Charla added. "We think it's rad – some of the things you can do with Kinect and SmartGlass and our controller and the impulse triggers are super-cool. So we're constantly out advocating our platform, and we hope that developers give us a call."
If you haven’t seen the No Man’s Sky trailer yet, check yourself. This is from the same group that brought you Joe Danger, so the thematic shift of the game just makes the whole thing that much more impressive.
