Xbox One SDK plagued by eleventh hours bugs

4.7
Rumour has it Microsoft is busting a gut to clear up errors with the Xbox One’s software development kit ahead of the console’s launch next month.

Various anonymous development sources told Kotaku that there are a number of issues with the SDK.

The sources say a collection of bugs was uncovered in the most recent version of the development software, and that some games have had to be resubmitted for certification with a newer version of the SDK.

As a result, both Microsoft and development teams are said to be in crunch to get software ready for launch.

“It’s going to be a fun few weeks in Microsoft QA,” one source said.

However, another source said this kind of thing always happens at hardware launch and isn’t necessarily indicative of potential problems for consumers at launch.

The Xbox One drops in North America, western Europe and selected PAL territories on November 22.

wouldnt be surprised if there was an element of truth to this. I reckon Microsoft are way ahead of where theyd like to be with next gen Sony possibly caught them with their pants down announcing PS4 in february, and with a fairly decent spec.

Nothing that cant be fixed in time though.

Pashtun THIS IS WHY I AM BUYING THE PS4!


give it a year and you will be buying an xbox when sonys servers are offline for a month


I'll put my money on Sony's servers not being down this time around. They have greatly improved their security over the past few years


And I'll put my money on Xbox Live still being more secure than PSN.

Lavish Even if these bugs are still there when the launch comes, it will still sell better than the PS4.


While it may sell better then the PS4 regardless, Microsoft's reputation will take a huge hit if the Xbox One is plagued by bugs
