Xbox Game Studios, in collaboration with Finnish studio Mainframe, is reportedly developing a cloud-native MMO game. Mainframe was recently teasing the title, and the news that Microsoft was collaborating on the project was confirmed by VentureBeat, citing independent sources.
The project, dubbed PaxDei, was registered as a computer game trademark under Mainframe Industries on October 4th. With this game, Microsoft and Mainframe will be pioneers of an MMO of this scale and type. Their work would lay down the groundwork for the future of cloud-native MMOs.
Cloud-native games exist primarily on a remote server, opening up many previously little-explored avenues of gameplay. Users will be able to play the game across many different devices while it adapts its mechanics according to the device it is being accessed on. The concept has been tried before on a smaller scale by other video games, but this project will take it to a whole new level.
PaxDei will be a class apart where it makes use of a device-agnostic environment that has the game and the associated services adapting to wherever the player is and the device they are on. Xbox is a part of this environment, courtesy of its Game Pass and cloud gaming software that gives access to Xbox titles across different platforms.
