How would you improve Xbox PC? Falconeer dev Tomas Sala imagines a more community-focused Xbox PC experience, for devs and players — “I would love to see that.”

by

Tomas Sala, the developer behind the aerial combat game *The Falconeer* and its city-building follow-up *Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles*, recently discussed improvements to the Xbox PC store with Jez Corden on the Xbox Two Podcast.

Sala previously worked with the ID@Xbox program, launching *The Falconeer* as a title for the Xbox Series X|S in 2020. During the conversation, he shared his thoughts on how Microsoft could enhance the store’s user experience. He feels the store needs a more modern and appealing design, and suggested features like easily following developers on platforms like Bluesky. Currently, the store often defaults to displaying game logos instead of large screenshots or trailers, which doesn’t give players a good initial impression of the game.

Sala also believes Xbox could improve its community tools, noting that even Steam could offer more in this area. He explained that players enjoy following the development process of games, seeing how they evolve from early stages to the final product. He’d like to see a system where players can connect with developers as creators, understanding they’re investing in a person, a world, or a larger universe, not just a single game.

by

Tom Hanks is famous for appearing in many classic World War II movies. Interestingly, despite starring in several war dramas himself, his all-time favorite WWII film wasn’t one he acted in.
