Gaming Everything
World of Tanks has only been announced for the Xbox 360, and not the Xbox One. However, a version for Microsoft’s next-gen console definitely appears to be in the cards.
Wargaming CEO Victor Kislyi, speaking with IGN, said that he doesn’t see any reason why an Xbox One version shouldn’t be made. The company intends to focus on the Xbox 360 for the time being. Once Wargaming does what it needs to with that game, “we’ll talk with Microsoft about Xbox One.”
“I see no reason why we won’t eventually do next-gen. But first, let them come out. Second, let them get to a meaningful user base. In free-to-play, you have to have millions and millions of players. On the PC, we have 77 million registered users worldwide. More than 75 percent of our players never pay us anything. We monetize only a small percentage who deliberately, from time to time, give us something in the range of the price of a movie ticket. So one million, say, is not enough of a user base for a free-to-play game. However, let them come out. There are no tangible restrictions.”
“Microsoft is obviously excited about Xbox One, just like the whole world. We see no reason not to work with it in the future. But we’re going to focus on polishing and releasing this one, see how it goes, see if we have any problems or challenges, and fix them. Free-to-play allows you do very fast iteration on the back end. That’s the beauty of free-to-play. When we nail this, we’ll talk with Microsoft about Xbox One.”
