To commemorate the first Xbox sale to ever be made to Japanese fans 20 years ago, Microsoft is officiallylaunching Xbox Wire in Japan. The main goal of this move is to expand their reach when it comes to Xbox news and announcements made on the platform.

Last year,Xbox Cloud Gaming was also launched in Japanwith the aim of bringing Xbox games to the massive population that is into gaming. Japan is considered to be one of the “fastest-growing markets” for Xbox worldwide, which is why the launch of a Japanese Xbox Wire seems to be strategic. Not forgetting that the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Cloud Gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate recently touched base in Japan.

“We are so excited to bring the joy and community of gaming to so many more fans, journalists, and content creators, who will now be able to keep up to date with first-hand news and articles in Japanese about our consoles, services, and content – including Xbox Series X, Xbox Game Pass for console and PC, Xbox Cloud Gaming and everything related to the Xbox Game Studios and partner studios,” said Jeremy Hinton, Xbox Asia Director.

Microsoft had previously given indications that it wasplanning to get into the Japanese gaming market. That said, Xbox fans will now get the latest news updates at their doorstep.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
