This is pretty big news and could give Xbox Live a huge advantage over the competition if they're unable to match it.

Also to be clear. One of the benefits of publishing games on Xbox One – ALL game developers get Dedicated Servers, Cloud Processing, and “storage” (for save games) free.

If you want to do dedicated servers on other platforms, you have to prop them yourself. But on Xbox One, while developers can choose to use their own methods, we make it available to everyone.

There should be no confusion on this point. We do not charge developers for Dedicated Servers.

smh

Any reason, or just to take the chance to hate on MS?

Panello huh.

His track record is less than pristine, but if true it's fantastic for gamers. Paying for p2p is totally ridiculous. Hopefully Sony encourages dedicated too.

Fantastic news if true, maybe its a change of approach or the dev was just wrong.

If it is true i wonder if EA will carry on using there own.

You are definitely correct that nothing is ever free but also policy changes in a competitive market.  MS could have changed the situation where now they are willing to just give developers dedicated servers as an incentive for more MP type of games.  Part that is not free is on the consumer end because MP will stay behind the pay wall.   The reason why MS might make this happen is that they feel they can sell enough XBL license and services to offer this cost to their business.  There are many ways to skin a cat as the saying goes.

Honestly just exhausted after reading comments of ZOMG game changer brah 

Pretty much the same as the COD Ghost discussions before they came out and said yeah it's for all platforms 

So all Xbox One first party titles will have Dedicated servers. That's a good thing. But there is this...

"This is pretty big news and could give Xbox Live a huge advantage over the competition if they're unable to match it."

My head hurts from this lol. 

I am just exhausted from all the comments. It's ok to have an opinion. But it doesn't make your opinion... not wrong lol

Im impressed with Microsoft from a customer point of view. They have really focused on ALL areas of the console. Not just gone theres more power. The amount of servers on tap is astonishing and all games can utilize them.

This is fantastic new for online gamers.

As a customer point of view I don't give a fcuk about online gaming. But I guess having online dedicated servers is better because online gaming is not possible for the competition now. Also dedicated servers > free games

opinions opinions opinions

how is not a huge adavantage ????

yeah COd was a bad exemple it's a blockbuster of course it will try to offer the same on every platform.... now for smaller title that can mean a lot and that's where the thing could be huge.... it means no need to calculate server cost for some projects from smaller dev studios... how can you say it is not better than not having the option and not being a big advantage.... ????
